About This Item
161 Pages. Inscribed and signed by all three authors on the first page inside the front cover. Dust jacket Not price-clipped.
This biography of two master decoy craftsmen comes in a dust jacket with very slight wearing on two of the four corners, some wearing along the front cover's right edge, two verticle soiled lines on the back cover that run on the right and left edges, and quite small tears on the top and bottom edges. The inside book, however, other than the inscription and author's signature and one other inscription and signature, has no further extraneous markings throughout, and thus all printing, photographs, and illustrations are in a very well-preserved and enjoyable condition and the sewn-in bindings remain tight and sound.
This book will be carefully wrapped up and then boxed and sent right away to you from here in New Jersey and will come to you with our honest appreciation for your interest and your order.
