About this Item

Very Good (covers nice; contents clean & tight with little evidence of bookplate removed from the front pastedown); little edgewear (few tears with clear external tape repairs at top of spine & one at top of rear cover) d/j. 8vo., blue cloth in dust jacket; 352 pages First Edition, first printing. Nice signed presentation from Grant on the front endpaper: "To Joseph A. Matter: I want to thank you for all you did for this book- for your thoughtfulness, sympathy, and understanding- and for your contributions. Cordially, Bruce Grant." Matter was chairman of the club's History Project Committee, which oversaw the publication of this book. A very nice association copy! There is a limited edition of this title prepared for club members with a special plate tipped in "signed" by the club president and the author, but the signatures are facsimiles and not real.
