Sobre este artículo
New York: Media Books, 1972. Hardcover. 8vo. Pale grey cloth with green spine lettering, dust jacket. 217pp. Fine/very good. Mild binding wear only. Superbly tight and sharp first of this edition, a centennial reprint of a typical rags-to-riches Alger tale first published 1893. Front jacket panel screams "It's a real / HORATIO ALGER / story!" This choice copy bears a fine archival decorative-edged bookplate on front flyleaf boldly signed and inscribed "with all / best wishes / from / Ralph D. Gardner" in blue fineline. Gardner (1923-2005) was a noted New York journalist, radio talk show host and advertising company founder best remembered for a popular 1964 biography and bibliography of Alger's works. A handsome, unusually bright copy of this unusual edition. This obscure publisher published three Alger titles only in this uniform format.
