About This Item
Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1910. Book. Illus. by C, Coles Phillips & Reginald Birch. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 7 1/2h x 5 1/4w. A nice 1910 first edition hardcover with 401 pages plus 6 pages of ads in back. Has cloth showing on inside hinge front and back but both fully attached. Has a green colored frontispiece with tissue guard in place. Has a few black & white illustrations scattered throughout. A story of two sisters who are to be married off by a rich but eccentric maiden aunt.She relegates the younger, Hezekiah, to the background until Cecilia is settled, and being superstitious about the number seven evolves a scheme which is the motif of the story. There is a laughable lover-trust, the pursuit of a smoke-ghost by the chimney doctor, and, incidentally, a pretty little love story, but it is elusive, like the whole plot..

About Warren's Books
I have been selling books since 1976. I am not a mega-lister that just types in an ISBN and paste a message of how great I am or how many books we\I sell. I list each book carefully trying to tell the faults and positives of our book. Most of the time I will tell what the book is about and list if it a first edition, hardcover or has a dust jacket. Photos of books are usually my scan and not a stock photo. If you have any questions, please ask. If you decide to pay with check or money order, please make it out to Warren Hahn, That's me!! I have about 5,200 books online with another 200 to list.
