Random House, 1970. Hardcover. Very Good. H. B. Vestal. This is the RARE Landmark title. This is the last book in the wonderful Landmark series and normally found to be the most difficult to find to complete your collection! Hardback Pictorial Cover Book is in Very Good condition with a tight binding and mostly clean crisp pages. There is a pocket from "Texhoma Public Library" inside the back cover with a number written in small 4 digits in the upper right hand corner. On the last blank end page there is a check out sheet that shows the book was only checked out TWICE! There are two library stamps in the book and two library seals, but these are minor. The four small digit number is also written at the bottom of the title page. A couple of stray marks in the back of the book index, but that is it! This is really a nice book with a tight binding and clean crisp pages! Outside pictorial covers show some minor corner wear and some library numbers at the bottom of the outside spine. There is one minor spot to the top of the outside page ends- shelf wear and this is minor. The back cover is nice. Tough book to find and complete your collection! Overall Nice!
