Paperback. Condition: Near Fine. Sylvia Gilman (illustrator). Inscribed and signed. 131 Pages. Inscribed and signed to the Springfield Art and Historical Society by both the author and the illustrator and dated September, 1986. This is a book of the author's memories of the way the world was when he grew up in a Pennsylvania coal town. The book's exterior has a few very minor dings on the front cover's bottom edge as its only detriment, while the interior book, other than the author's and the illustrator's inscription and signatures and the stamp of the historical society to which it was inscribed, has no further visible extraneous markings, detriments or distractions and hence all of its printing and illustrations are all in a very well-preserved condition and the interior book remains tightly glued into its cover. If you order this wonderful memory reminder of the way that our country used to be from us, we will carefully wrap it up in either foam or bubble wrap, and then ship it right away to you in a new and extra padded envelope with both insurance and tracking on it.
