Chatterbox For 1924 -

Boston: L.C. Page & Company, 1924. Hardcover. Small 4to. Olive green cloth spine and glossy pictorial paper over boards. 316pp. Color frontispiece, 7 full-page glossy plates (as called for), numerous small and full-page line drawings, ad text endpapers. Very good. Mild edgewear and rubbing, more so at front outer corners; small ownership signature on front pastedown. A tight and quite nice first edition of this famed annual containing short stories, poetry, how-to, nonfiction, etc. aimed at young boys. The color plates are especially charming and bright. Despite gentle binding wear, this handsome copy is about as good as this usually-abused title gets.
