NORCROSS,
FIRST EDITON 1923
9”x 6.5” 176 pages.
Beautiful color illustrations.
Many in-text drawings in dark red, some flowing continuously
from one page to another.
Extremely
scarce edition. I only saw three copies on the internet, all
asking over $40.00.
THE
VOLUME: GOOD+
condition. Text block is tight and just shy of
square. Front hinge creaks very slightly. A hairline crack
without separation at the title page. Moderate to heavy wear at
board and spine corners and along rear lower spine edge for ½
inch. Corners are bumped. Lower corner of upper board soft and
creased. A fainter scuffed or rubbed area in cloth of upper
board (visible in photo). Gilt titles on upper board still quite
bright. Titles on spine have darkened.
Interior
of the book is predominantly clean with a few faint smudges now
and then, usually very faint. I saw one page with a finger-tip
size smudge near the edge of the page and a few with very small
spots of soiling. I found one chip on the edge of one page, not
affecting illustrations or text. (I've highlighted that in a
photo.) Page 48 has a closed tear at the lower edge not
affecting text. (I will repair with invisible document repair
tape if buyer wishes.) I found two pages with tiny nicks in the
outside edge.
No
writing or inscriptions.
