About This Item
Chicago Board of Trade Battery (The Henneberry Company Printers), 1902. Pebbled Cloth. Very Good. A solid, presentable copy of the scarce 1902 1st edition. Tight and VG in its pebbled, wine-red cloth, with light wear along the edges, light spotting to the rear panel and a bit of mild wear at the foot of the spine. Internally very clean, with no writing or markings to speak of. Octavo, all edges gilt, several black-and-white photos complementing the text (their original tissue-guards still in place).
