Yeah, look them up on ABEBOOKS or Amazon books. Remember, some of those listings are for books that have not sold at those prices. I recently sold a baggo books on this site and sold many for giveaway prices because these guys are my friends and need my books more than I did.

Dean,
There is no reference to a printing number, but the copyright of Charles Scribner's Sons is 1942. There is a light pencil note to the inside cover "1st Ed" and the price of $75. I should have looked this book over earlier as I had forgotten that it is a 'retired' public library book with stamps to the inside covers and top/bottom end pages including the overstamp of 'Withdrawn' to same. The library's sticker at the bottom of the spine had been removed, but it caused a fading to the printed author's name. There are many beautiful illustrations in the book along with a color print "Grouse Shooting in New England" attached opposite page of the title page. All that being said, these library stamps (The Hill School Library, Pottstown, PA) diminishes its value. However, for an 80 year old book, it is in remarkably good condition with no torn pages or owner's scribbling, buggered cover corners, bent/creased covers or spine. If you still have an interest, please let me know as I will be taking photos for your perusal soon. |
