About This Item
New York: Bramhall House, 1948. Hardcover. Near Fine/Good. Kelley, Don Greame. Number line in the work reads as follows: B C D E F G H. Volume itself has green covers with sharp black lettering on the spine. 450 pages, including an comprehensive index, plus a bibliography. There is a bit of wear at the outer lower corner of the front cover. Also, one spot on the spine. None of this will affect any use of the work. Dust jacket is protected in an archival quality Brodart cover. The dust jacket has a tiny tear at the head of the spine and a bit of wear at the tail of the spine, and a tear at the "the" in the book title on the spine. There is a crease about half the dj cover length on the back cover and a small tear on the front cover at the dust flap. Nevertheless, the dust jacket looks quite presentable in its protective cover. The only date I have in the work is a copyright date in Roman numerals and it appears there was a prior edition published by Little, Brown & Company. As nice a copy as you are likely to find of an increasingly scarce work. Available for immediate shipment, carefully packed in a sturdy box!
