Great Vintage Hardback Childhood of Famous Americans Book with Dust Jacket. Book is in Very Good Plus condition with a tight binding and clean crisp pages.

There is some minor spotting to some of the top outside page ends, but it has little to no effect on the inside top borders. Outside cloth covers are very nice with very minor corner wear. Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped ($1.75). Dust Jacket is very nice with no issues other than "921 Bea" has been written at the top of the inside front flap very neatly.
