About This Item
Random House, 1950. Hardcover. Excellent/Very Good. 8x5x1. Armstrong Sperry. First Book in the wonderful Landmark series! Vintage Hardback Cloth Book with Dust Jacket is in Very Good Plus condition. Inside text is actually in Excellent condition with a tight binding and clean crisp pages that appears to be unread and unused! No writing or markings in the book. Outside cloth covers are very nice. Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped (195/195) and in Very Good to Very Good Plus condition. Some edge chipping to the top and bottom of the outside spine. Dust Jacket is now covered by a new clear mylar cover. This book has come from a private collection and is NOT an ex-library book. Overall a VERY nice Landmark of the First Book! Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting.
