About this Item

More titles include Headsman, Heidenmauer,The Bravo, Mercedes of Castile, Afloat and Ashore, Miles Wallingford, The Pilot and Crater. A total of 23 stories in 12 books. All state Pathfinder edition at the top of the title pages. Number 50 of a limited set of 1,000. Seven are in original half leather bindings with corn design in gold on the spines. Five are in library bindings. It looks as though, as the covers became too worn, the library had them rebound in cloth bindings and had library numbers embossed in gold on the spines. The colors vary on the cloth. All have "The Public Library of the City of Leadville" (Colorado) rubber stamped on the title pages, frontispieces and last pages. The seven in original bindings have a paper library label on the spine about 1" in diameter. Two of the rebound volumes are missing the limitation page. Some have minor repair with cloth or clear tape on the pages. No foxing or odor in any (Very little moisture at 10,000 feet). These books comes from the time and place of the famous silver boom. A remarkable survival. They are not faded, moisture damaged, dirty, or ratty. They have been read. The card pocket that was inside the front board has been partially or wholly removed from all volumes. Each has two stories with a title page and frontisepiece for each story except for Red Rover which takes up one volume. No date found but thought to be from the 1890's.
