- Hardcover
Boston: Richard G Badger/The Copp Clark Co., Limited , 1917. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6� - 7�" tall. Thomas F Hall . Copyright date is 1917, volume is bound in red cloth covered boards with gilt lettering on the front board and spine cover. The work is a look at the published works of Cook and Peary to determine if they truly did reach the North Pole on their expeditions. The front free end paper features author's personal stamps. The work is adorned with folding plates and a folding map that is stored in a pocket on the rear board. History is entitled to the truth in all vital matters. Therefore, the sole purpose of this book is to unfold the truth concerning the claims of Mr. Peary and Dr. Cook regarding the discovery of the North Pole. Although Congress, The National Geographic Society, Copenhagen University and various scientific bodies have taken action, the controversy is not settled.This antique volume shows well with some light age toning to the boards and light rubbing. The interior pages show light age toning a label has been removed from the toe of the spine.

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Bibliographical Society of America, this retrospective collection of articles seeks to represent, in the broadest possible way, the diverse contributions of the members of the Society to its Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. The pieces demonstrate to the highest degree of excellence - articles of critical importance that have moved forward the art of bibliography. This volume contains 39 articles that strongly suggest that the practice of bibliography in America during the past three-quarters of a century cannot be easily categorized. Instead, the articles range over the entire spectrum of the world of books. An interesting characteristic of the selection is the preponderance of articles concerned with the relationship between books and people - especially with collectors rather than with those…
