About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace, 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good +/very good. Octavo, 275pp. A crisp, clean copy, very good or better, in the publisher's red cloth. Spine gently sunned, faint ring stain to rear board, but otherwise a sharp copy. In a very good dust jacket (supplied), with some short tears and a small chip on the rear panel. A fantastic association copy, SIGNED and INSCRIBED by both Anne and Charles Lindbergh on the half-title page to legendary architect Eliel Saarinen and his wife, Loja: [in Anne's hand]: "For Mr and Mrs Eliel Saarinen Anne Morrow Lindbergh." [in Charles' hand]: "and Charles Lindbergh Cranbrook, 1943." The Saarinens' blindstamp appears on the title page. According to the archives of the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, MI, the Lindberghs spent the summer of 1943 at Cranbrook, where Anne took modeling and sculpture classes. Charles had come to be familiar with the area a year earlier, when in April 1942 he was invided by Henry Ford to assist in the conversion of facilities at Willow Run Airport into a manufacturing facility for the war effort. By this time, Eliel Saarinen had recently retired as the founding President of Cranbrook, but he and Lola still lived in their specially designed home right near the campus. A significant association copy between two intellectual and highly influential American families.

About Cleveland Book Company
We are proud members of the ABAA.
As a small, independent bookseller in Cleveland, Ohio, I deal in general used, rare, and antiquarian books, autographs, manuscripts, pamphlets, and personal and family papers in all subjects. My family has been in the antiquarian book business since 1971. Are you moving, downsizing, or doing some spring cleaning? Did you inherit or otherwise come into some old books? Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books. Give us a call at (216) 352-3940 and we can talk more about the kinds of books you have.
