About This Item
Columbus, OH: Ohio State University, 1930. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, Black cloth boards with gilt to front and spine. Exterior is in very rough shape with dampstains to both boards and spine, front board also has damage to center which feels like it may be from glue. Corners and edges also show bumps/wear. Spite the rough exterior interior text pages are good, though hinge is cracked at rear board and title page. Pages are toned due to age scattered foxing in smudge marks are present. Inscribed and signed by W. W. Charters on the first end page where he presented the book in appreciation to M. Salsbury: "To M. Salisbury, With appreciation of the help you gave in making the Institute a success. Very cordially yours, W. W. Charters - January 1931". Werrett Wallace Charters was a Professor and director of the Bureau of Educational Research at Ohio State University and Morse Salisbury was the American Chief of Radio Service and USDA Broadcaster. Book exterior is in poor shape and interior is graded as good minus (overall grade rated as fair minus). Front end page also has faint evidence of a price once penciled in the upper corner and lower corner has a faint check mark penciled. No other handwriting found. A very uncommon title and inscription makes it a one-of-a-kind - even in this rough of shape.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
