About This Item
New York: Wm. H. Wise & Co, 1926. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7. Type: Hardback Hardcover 1926 Book in Very Good Condition. No jacket, as issued. Blind stamped decoration on front of brown leatherette flexible cover, clean, lightly wrinkled near lower edge; slight wear to extremities; sewn binding tight and solid; illustrated title page. Internals lightly toned, quite clean and unmarked. This guide book will help you find the person you want in the shortest way--each of the 170 lives that make up the Little Journeys is outlined in one page in this book and group according to where it falls into a specific branch of knowledge. For example, if you want to learn more about Garibaldi, the index puts him on page 63 of the Guide, and page 63 tells you that you will find him in Volume IX, page 93. Also, the guide-book pages supplement the biographies to which it refers with exact data--names, places, dates and facts, in compressed Baedeker style. 203 pages, indexed. 8.25 x 5.5 inches. 1926, Wm. H. Wise & Co, NY
