About This Item
1944. Hardcover. Very Good. Consists of 1 ledger (39 cm.) sold by Schiff Bros., Philadelphia. Red cloth spine and corners with gilt-stamped border; black morrocco-grain cloth over boards. After original use as a business ledger, the first 13 pages were used as a scrapbook for newspaper clippings from 1937 about the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War. Includes articles by Reginald Sweetland, H. R. Ekins, James A. Mills, M. W. Fodor, Kingsbury Smith, Morris J. Harris, and A. T. Steele, as well as war photographs. Pages 14-42 contain accounts for a mattress company from June 1921 to Dec. 1922, with payments to Hudson Mattress, Girard Bed, Altona Mattress, Philadelphia Cotton Co., Eagle Bed, and Enterprise Bed, among others. Flipping the volume upside down and starting from the back, pages 89-152 were used to hold The Mediaeval Castle by Hal Foster, cut out of a newspaper and attached to the pages. Also, six full pages with Prince Valiant by Harold R. Foster from 1942 are folded and housed loose in the ledger. The Medieval Castle was published from April 23, 1944, to Nov. 18, 1945. A heavy book; for international shipping, it will have to be sent by priority international. In Very Good Condition: the clippings of The Medieval Castle are clean and bright, as are the other contents; edges of the ledger are rubbed.
