The Giant of Three Wars (Scarce Early 20th Century Dust-jacket)

New York: Random House, 1936. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 12mo., 241(2)pp. Beautiful First Edition of this biography and tribute to General Winfield Scott. Bound in red cloth with titles in white on front board and spine. Decorative illustration on front board. Square, tight and clean throughout with no toning or foxing. Some minor wear to spine ends and some spots of fading along edges. Remarkably fresh and bright. Very attractive and scarce example of a very early 20th century dust-jacket. Unclipped, though unpriced, ($1.00 Net on spine panel), it has some chipping to spine ends. Front panel toned though it look more like off-setting than fading. Some rubbing to hinges. Still solid with no tears or creases and impossible to find in any condition. A very pretty collectable copy of a quite uncommon title, particularly with its scarce dust-jacket.
