Alexandria, Virginia:: Time Life Books, 1982. A beautiful copy. Bright, clean, square, and tight. No corner bumps. No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. Fresh and crisp, apparently never read. Handsomely bound in full, brown leather that is gilt stamped, and embossed with a western motif/longhorn design. The binding on this copy is GENUINE LEATHER, superior to the cheaper leatherette (imitation leather) found on later copies. Although at first glance, leatherette can look a lot like leather, it does not age as gracefully in the long run. Laid-in is the publisher's introductory letter, which says in part: "This leather-bound volume..." [The reference to leather was removed later for the leatherette copies]. A volume in the Classics of the Old West series. Illustrated. Howes S1068 [Final Edition S1075]. Subtitle: "Containing an interesting account of the massacre of the Oatman family, by the Apache Indians, in 1851; the narrow escape of Lorenzo D. Oatman;… Read More
