About This Item
N.p.: HC Publishers Inc, 1969. Hardcover. Introductions by Robert E. Brooker and Louis Sobol. Edited by Hal L. Cohen. 4to. Blue cloth with gilt lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 672pp. Color frontispiece, extensive illustrations. Very good/very good. Text block lightly, typically age toned; jacket rather rubbed and edgeworn, with spine lightly sunned and a couple edge chips -- but complete, overall attractive and (Brodart encased) fully handleable. Nice first edition of this facsimile reprint of the venerable retailer's Catalogue No. 97 for the Fall/Winter 1922-23 season, their "Golden Jubilee" (1872-1922 -- and now centennial), a massive soup-to-nuts offering of... well, anything and everything. Did the 1968 publication of a facsimile of competitor Sears, Roebuck & Co.'s 1897 catalogue prompt this one-upmanship from the older firm? Difficult to find in sharp condition like this and with jacket present.
