About this Item

An exceptionally nice copy of a scarcer, later title (#36) in the original Tom Swift series, which was comprised of 40 volumes written under the pseudonym Victor Appleton (actually Howard Roger Garis) published 1910-1941. Each was described as "spirited tales [whose purpose was] to convey in a realistic way the wonderful advance in land & sea locomotion & to interest the boy of the present in the hope that he may be a factor in aiding the marvelous development that is coming in the future." First published by Grosset & Dunlap in 1933, this is a slightly later printing (listing to next title on front flap, "Sky Train" on rear) of the First Edition from Whitman (#2160), in 217 pages. Thick small octavo has light gray-khaki cloth-covered boards lettered in black to front & spine. Condition is VG+: very clean with light scattered foxing to external page edges only. Binding straight & strong with a barely noticeable rightward lean; hinges intact, pages creamy white & unmarked. Edges & corners crisp with just a tad of rubbing, no rubbing or bumping. The unclipped DJ is also VG+: bright & colorful with slight rubbing to some title letters & extremities, minor chipping to both ends of spine. Beautifully protected in clear mylar cover Free!
