This is a “very good” or better vintage hardcover in pictorial cloth wrapped boards with black-and-white illustrated glossy frontispiece published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1926.
First edition format, later printing (originally introduced in 1911 in the same presentation).
Solid binding, no writing or marks aside from a “9” carefully affixed to the front free end paper. No torn, folded or loose pages. Board corners are lightly bumped, with minimal wear to cloth. Pictorial decorations on the cloth on front board and spine are bright, yellow/tan color uniform all around – not sunned on spine.
Matching dust wrapper shows “Tom Swift and His Airline Express” as the last title in the list inside the front flap. Some minimal edge wear with some chipping at the flap fold corners and spine head and tail. Some tanning to the spine. Front cover illustration bright and vibrant. Now protected in a removable archival sleeve for proper presentation.
A really pleasing vintage copy with its original cover, which are getting more scarce each passing year.

$26.00
A "very good" vintage hardcover in a matching "good" original dust wrapper published by Grosset and Dunlap in 1948.
Binding and hinges are crisp. The black tinting at the text block head somewhat sunned at outer edge. The board corners are fairly crisp with the front upper lightly worn. Front board decoration and spine titling is crisp and complete. Text block closes tightly. Spine head and tail edges lightly bumped. An X-mass inscription is penciled on front free end paper and a name on back one, other wise no writing. A handful of page corners are creased. Matching dust jacket shows heavy wear with large loss at the tail of the spine. Also some loss along the bottom back and at the flap folds. Will arrive in a removable archival sleeve. See images for complete condition details. Will ship promptly, carefully packaged. Using Carpentieri's guide, I am able to identify this copy as what he labels a "1948A-15", meaning it is the first printing of 1948 and the 15th overall printing of the title. The first printing was in 1937. This edition features the original text and cover artwork.
