American Academy of Arts and Sciences / George Banta Publishing Co.. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1934. First Edition. Hardcover. A clean, tight hardcover copy, This is quite a formidable book, both in size (10"x12", over 5 pounds, with 342 pages of text followed by 98 plates, each with a facing page of text) and the thoroughness with which it deals with its subject matter (which is not for the faint of heart). This copy is bound in burgundy buckram, with gold lettering on the spine. The paper quality is high, as shown by the fact that the pages are only lightly age-toned. There are some indications of long-ago exposure to moisture--a bit of waviness at the bottom of some pages--but no lasting damage was done. One plate toward the back has damp staining around it, but, oddly, none of the other pages do. The binding is very sound, with just a bit of fading at the edges but no fraying or edgewear.; Oversize .
