The Motion Picture Chums War Spectacle 1916 First edition
$684.00
This is a “good plus” or better antique hardcover in pictorial cloth wrapped boards with black-and-white illustrated semi-glossy frontispiece published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1916.
First edition, identified by the copyright page lists and also series books lists in the back of the book.
Solid binding, no writing or marks aside from a name carefully penciled on the front free end paper.
No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are bumped, more so on the bottoms, some minimal wear to the cloth on the corner tips, not worn through. Spine head and tail bumped, but cloth is not frayed. The cloth wrapping is a little rippled on the front board above the title, and their is a triangular section on the upper portion of the back board where it is floating from the underlying board. Lower corner of back board has what looks to be remnants of the dust jacket adhered to it.
Not quite perfect, but still very pleasing copy of a rather scarce final title in this early Stratemeyer Syndicate series.
See accompanying images for full condition details.
Will make for a great gift for that special collector or perhaps an upgrade for your collection!
Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
