Caldwell, Idaho: The Caxton Printers, 1949. Book Club Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good/Good.
Deep-blue cloth with bright white spine titles, front titles blind-stamped; 8.5 inches tall; 282 pages; illustrated with 27 full-page photographic plates, 15 text-illustrations, and end-page maps.
The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Moderate shelf handling wear. The Dust jacket has handling wear with edge wear and small losses on the top of the spine.. A brave little company of men and women are the government school teachers of Alaska, who in isolated posts teach Eskimo and Indian children their ABCs.
