NO rubbing. NO fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NO remainder mark. Remarkably fresh and crisp -- apparently never read. 1926. "A special edition of Publications of the American Jewish Historical Society, Number 30." The title page credits this to Dr. Rosenbach, but it was actually compiled by his gifted employee, E. Millicent Sowerby. Illustrated with numerous facsimiles. Printed at The Lord Baltimore Press, Baltimore, Maryland. Index. Bound in the publisher's gilt-stamped brown cloth which retains much of its new book gloss. Besterman 3281.. Original 1926 edition. Hardcover. Very Fine condition/No jacket, probably as issued. 8vo. xi, 486pp. + 11 pages of ads. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.
