About This Item
Philadelphia: John W. Leas, 1924. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fair/No Jacket. 1925 FIRST EDITION. Rebound EX-LIBRARY book with many library stamps and library marks. Patterned green library cloth (very ugly, depending on taste), spine number, EP pocket, thumb marks on a few pages, folding plates needlessly cello-taped at folds. Before being rebound the text block was stupidly trimmed causing loss of the captions on several of the photos. Full collation of the book by me (every page) reveals that 2 photo plates, one smaller map and the big folding map at end ARE MISSING and have been REPLACED with photocopies from originals. Overall a working copy with full text and better photo quality than that found in the subpar recent paperback reprint which has low quality photo/map reproductions (reduced in size and awkwardly lumped together). PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK BEING OFFERED.
