Item description from seller

Vol.#14 in the second Tom Swift series, which was comprised of 33 volumes written under the pseudonym Victor Appleton II. Originally published in 1959, this book is one of the original blue tweed cloth-covered books with wrap-around pictorial DJs, so it is a First Edition, but slightly later printing, listing to TS#16 in front matter & on rear flap, HB #39 on back DJ cover. In 184 pages with a plain frontispiece & blue/white endpapers by illustrator Graham Kaye. Book condition is VG: very clean, binding straight & strong, hinges intact, pages creamy white with very mild tanning/dust dulling to outside edges, but unmarked. Very mild rubbing to extremities & bumped corners. The unclipped DJ is VG+, with only mild edgewear in the form of small chips to top edges & edge of front flap/front cover; nicely protected in new mylar cover Free! Our photos depict the EXACT book you will receive from us--never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day.…
