About This Item
From front dust jacket flap: "In this [book] we take part in a classic coon hunt with the famous hound-dog man, Blackie Scantline, the hero of every man and boy with a touch of wanderlust - the despair of mothers and daughters and other more practical citizens."
This is a Harper Find and a Book of the Month Club selection.
Per back cover: "Hound-dog Man is a Harper Find because - ...it is that rare book by a 'new' author which comes into a publishing house and is so universal in its appeal, so arresting in its qualities that the entire staff is immediately enthusiastic."
Book - Good+ condition. Red cloth over boards. Some wear to front and back, spine, and corners. Little wear to edges. End papers have evidence of glue stains. Pages are clean and binding is tight.
Dust Jacket - Good- condition. Colors are good, but there is some staining, rubbing of image, chips and small tears along edges/corners.
Please use photos as part of the description.
247 pages.
