About This Item
From the Preface: "There is nothing new in Tom's Boy Harry. All of the facts contained in this book have been published before. But this is the first time, as far as can be learned, that the facts and stories have been presented in one continuous and connected story. Most of the incidents related in this book when taken by themselves seem unconnected with the Pendergast machine or Mr. Truman. But when all the incidents and happenings are compiled in their chronological order, the whole pattern is seen."
Very Good condition. Navy cloth over boards with gold gilt text on front and spine. There is some edge and corner wear, plus some rubbing to covers. And, the book does have a slight slant from front to back. But it still has a very nice "feel". Front end paper has previous owner's address label and a small bookseller label. There are a few black & white photos. Text is clean and binding is tight.
Please use photos as part of the description.
