About This Item
Dixon, IL DeKalb County Board of Supervisors, 1963. Hardcover First Edition (1963), unstated. Very Good+: shows just a hint of wear to the extremities; former owner's name at the top of the front free endpaper; a coffee cup circle at the upper front panel; the backstrip shows very faint sunning (the titles thereon remain clearly legible); the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tighly bound, showing very mild wear and a couple of unobtrusive flaws. Bright and clean. Corners sharp. Not far from 'As New'. Good production values: a slick-paper affair. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 4to (10.75 x 7.35 x 0.8 inches). xvii, 272 pages. Russt buckram over boards with gilt titles at the backstrip.
