About This Item
This book is unusual. It has the 1952 copyright and shows Random House, The Modern Library as the publisher. However, elements do not match what we have found elsewhere. The cover is deep red of leather or faux leather on boards. Whereas this edition is always green cloth on boards and has the series number ML 298. This edition has no ML number. Another difference is that the dj has a $4.95 price, whereas other ML, 1952 edition djs are marked $5.95. Neither the book or the dj appear to be knockoffs. The book has a good quality cover and good quality paper pages. Our best guess is that it is the first printing or early printing or a pre-publication printing of the 1952 edition.
This book is in excellent condition. Very slight wear at cover corners and a book plate pasted onto the first fly-leaf page. Binding is tight, all pages are clear-unmarks, no tears, no foxing. The dj is has a small stain on the front (about an inch square) and some serious chipping at the bottom of the spine section, less noticeable at the top of the spine area. Previous owner's name is printed on inside flap with seeming an orange magic marker. Book will be priority mailed to any U. S. address.

Synopsis
The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the writings from a diary written by Anne Frank while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. The family was apprehended in 1944 and Anne Frank ultimately died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. After the war, the diary was retrieved by Anne's father, Otto Frank.
