About This Item
Signed. Born in 1875, Forest McNeir moved to the Galveston Bay area and did a bunch of stuff; oystering, selling cow hides, until he landed in the construction business. He wrote the book when he was 80, for the benefit of his children. The book is in great shape, the corners are crisp, and the spine is not sun damaged or rubbed. It's a little dusty and a little cocked, but the pages are clean and unmarked. The dust jacket is rough; it has chips, tears and stains all around, but it's intact; it did its job. The author has inscribed, dated and signed the book on the half title page. This book has been reprinted, but this is the 1956 edition.

About mark mcdonald
Book collector for over 30 years. I'm retired and ready to sell. I buy almost exclusively from estate sales and since I've lived in Dallas my whole life, I know the people and where to go. I am a low volume collector and seller and deal in higher quality books. I have a lot of signed and inscribed books. These signatures have not been officially authenticated, but I am confident in their authenticity so I will guarantee them in perpetuity if it can be reasonably demonstrated that the signature is incorrect. .
