The Yale Banner and Pot Pourri : The Annual Year-Book of the Students of Yale University, Volume I, Being Volume LXV!! of the Banner and Volume XLIV of the Pot Pourri 1909 (1908-1909) de Samuel J. Keator Jr., Frederic A. Morrell, Jr. Francis H. Olmstead, Carl H. P. Thurston (editors) - 1909

New Haven, CT: Yale University, 1909. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, blue cloth boards with gilt on front and spine. Exterior shows handling wear and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. Internal binding is good, no hinge issues at boards though there is an issue with the text pages. The reason for the low condition grade is that page 219/220 is only attached by the top inch and page 221/222 is missing. All other pages are present and secure. Book would grade as VG if not for this issue. Paper is toned due to age and there is some minor spotting and foxing. This came from the estate of Benjamin Thaw Jr., who was listed as a graduate for 1909 (see our book #221088 for his 1906 Yale book with signature). There is no reference to this in the book but this volume was included with other Yale books which contained his name. It is likely the missing page has something to do with him. As far as the rest of the book there are no signatures, no bookplates, no handwriting, no library markings.
