William the Conqueror World Landmark HB/PC Costain

Random House, 1959. Hardcover. Very Good. 8x5x1. Vintage Landmark Pictorial Cover Hardback in Good condition with a tight binding and mostly clean crisp pages. This is an ex-school library book (Alan Shepard Middle School Library in South San Antonio School District) with the expected library markings, but they are not excessive. Outside covers, corners, edges, and spine show some soiling and wear. But overall a nice book. No Dust Jacket, as there was none issued with the Pictorial Cover Editions. Harder to find title in this wonderful series. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range. These living histories were written by award-winning authors or by men and women who experienced the events first hand. Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. World Landmark Book #41. In writing this compelling, dramatic story of one of the most turbulent and powerful figures of the Middle Ages, Mr. Costain has employed all the talent and skill that have made him outstanding among contemporary historical novelists.
