About This Item

New York: County Work Department of the International Committee of the Young Men's Christian Associations, 1910. Rural Manhood, Volume 1, consists of 12 monthly magazine issues bound together for January through December, 1910. The magazine was a periodical published from 1910 through 1923 by the YMCA's International Committee, which later became the Armed Services YMCA. However, the publishing information comes from an opening Editiorial from the January issue and is not stated on a masthead. The book includes a number of black-and-white photographic illustrations, maps, and charts throughout. There are numerous articles, many dealing with different aspects of life in rural America, by different authors. The book is bound in green boards with a leather spine, and die-stamped gilt spine lettering. There are small chips on the top and bottom of the spine (click on photo) as well as a tiny hole midway down the spine. The spine tips are rubbed. The boards have some discoloring. The binding itself is secure and the contents are in nice condition, with an occasional fingerprint. There's a triangular chip missing from the blank rear free endpaper. The book measures 6 1/4 by 9 1/8 inches. Each magazine section contains 32 pages, with a book total of 384 pages. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
