About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Grosset & Dunlap, 1960. First Edition Later Printing . Hardcover. Very Good. Book #13 in the 27-book YA series featuring 16-year-old star athlete Bronc Burnett, with "a world of how-to-play tips interwoven with the exciting yarns themselves." Providing "a stadium full of thrills,'' this series was set in Sonora, New Mexico, & offered stories about baseball, football, & scouting, at which Bronc was equally adept, for boys from 1948-1967. Orig. written in 1960, this is one of the Grosset & Dunlap hardcover picture cover editions, a slightly later printing of that First Edition (listing to book #15 in the front matter). Condition is solidly VG: generally very clean with minor darkening to exterior page edges. Interior pages white & unmarked, binding strong & straight, hinges secure. Mild-moderate rubbing to extremities, ffep is clipped, slight spine fading. No DJ, as issued (never came with one). Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.
