About This Item
Philadelphia: Henry Altemus Company, 1911. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Tan cloth with green spine lettering and large front board color pictorial plate, pictorial dust jacket with matching front panel batter-and-catcher graphic. 256pp, (16pp ads). Frontispiece, 3 full-page line drawings. Very good/good plus. Binding quite nice but for homely white stain at upper right of rear board (only) -- and jacket equally bright and nice but for homely large darkish stain to much of rear panel and portion of spine; internally tight and fine. A tight, fairly attractive later printing of the first title in the 4-volume "Grammar School Boys Series." All four volumes were published in 1911 and both ad at rear and rear jacket panel list all four titles, making precise dating difficult.
