Fine in dark green cloth covered boards with a gilt Lakeside logo and borders on the front board and bright gilt text on the spine which is just a touch off in brightness.

There is a long, multi-party gift inscription in pencil on the first free end page signed by five individuals. The second Lakeside Classic issued at Christmas time in 1904 which is now considered the most difficult copy to locate in collectible condition. 299 pages including the Constitution of the United States. An extremely tight, clean and handsome copy; in fact one of the nicest copies of the 1904 edition that we have ever see!
