first edition Paperback
1904 · Chicago
by Read, Opie
Chicago: Thompson & Thomas, 1904. Paperback. 210p., nine full-page woodblock illustrations (ten, counting cover), softbound first edition in 7.5x5 inch decorated wraps printed black and red on smooth yellow stock. Front cover is nearly detached with an ineffective bit of old tape at the heel, very acidic textblock with a bad bump and crumpling to tips of many leaves. All cover texts, and all images and content within are intact, but item is hard to handle, and was bound rather stiffly to begin with. As is. (Inventory #: 190589)
