$134.00
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.
