Sobre este artículo
Akron, Ohio: Saalfield Publishing Company, 1930. First Edition First Printing . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good-. Book #3 in this publisher's "Mystery and Adventure Series,'' a vast collection of books for boys (& girls) in the early 20th century by various authors. Similar to books produced by the Stratemeyer syndicate, these Saalfield books were produced from 1900-1977 by a stable of writers, typically using pseudonyms. "Hugh McAlister" was actually a woman, Margaret Lee Alison Johansen. A FIRST EDITION from 1930 (unknown printing), in 252 pages with a plain frontispiece artist unattributed), this hardcover small 8vo has bright orange-red cloth-covered boards lettered in black to front & spine & stamped with an image of a dirigible to front board. Condition is Near Fine: exceptionally clean & crisp, binding strong & straight, front hinge cracked. Old gift inscription dated 1939 in pencil to ffep; else, pages unmarked, but heavily tanned, commensurate with age & paper quality of the era. The unclipped DJ is VG, with brilliant artwork featuring a fleet of dirigibles in a crisp, linear, Art Deco style. Many small chips & modest rubbing to extremities; beautifully protected in new clear mylar cover for your collection! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
