Sobre este artículo
New York: The Ma, 1954. First Printing. Hardcover. Good/Good. Charles Sherwood Stratton (1838 - 1883), better known by his stage name "General Tom Thumb", was an American with dwarfism who achieved great fame as a performer under circus pioneer P. T. Barnum. Full grown, Stratton was just 2'11" tall. Under Barnum's management, Stratton became a wealthy man. He owned a house in the fashionable part of New York and a steam yacht, and he had a wardrobe of fine clothes. He also owned a specially adapted home on one of Connecticut's Thimble Islands. When Barnum got into financial difficulty, Stratton bailed him out. Later, they became business partners. Stratton made his final appearance in England in 1878.
This copy is good in blue cloth with red titles on the spine and red and gilt design on the front cover. It is ex-library, with typical library stamps and markings, but the binding is sound. Minor fraying at the bottom edges. Other than the library stamps the text is clean and unmarked. Clipped DJ has fading on jacket spine but since it has been in a protective plastic cover, it is otherwise undamaged. DG.

Sobre Stanley Louis Remarkable Books (IOBA)
Seller of high quality books and ephemera, emphasizing older and unusual items, such as signed or association copies. I try to offer the kind of books, at fair prices, that appeal to me, hoping that they will appeal to others also.
