Hardcover with scarce DJ, 1925 copyright (actually printed around 1927 - see description) Grosset & Dunlap 218 pages. Good+, in an Acceptable DJ. Minor shelf/edge wear and soiling to coarse woven Tan cloth boards (Quad design) with black titles and red accents - corners lightly bumped. Moderate shelf/edge wear, age-toning and dust soiling, large closed tears and major chipping to scarce original DJ - now in mylar. DJ is missing about one third of the spine but the title is still there, as well as the front and back panels and flaps.

Richard Boehm. 28th of 38 adventures of Tom Swift. This copy has a 1925 date but the last book mentioned on the inside DJ flap is Tom Swift Circling the Globe which was printed in 1927. Per AAC Boys Series Books by Axe, pg 22. A respectable copy that still presents well in original but flawed DJ. Mattson #58500. LOC SSS-09.
