About This Item
Chicago, Ilinois: R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company, 1913. Lakeside Classic . Hardcover. Good. There is wear and chipping at the head and tail of the spine and wear at the corners. On the spine the lettering is easily readable but not sharp. On the front cover the Lakeside emblem and border ( in gilt) are rather sharp. Inside the front cover some hinges are separating at the bottom. 137 pages, plus a 23 page historical introduction, the gilt on the top pages is faded, the outer edge of the pages are deckled. The frontispiece is a portrayal of Chicago in 1853 and the tissue guard is in place and not torn. There are no owner names, or bookplates. I find no underlining, no highlighting, no dogeared pages, not ex-libris, no smudges. For a century old plus volume it is in decent shape. Available for immediate shipment; carefully packed!
