The Handy Reference Atlas of the World (Scarce Dust-Jacket)
Boston: Charles E. Lauriat Co., 1928. 5th or later Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fine / Fair. Item #010721
12mo., 172pp. Beautiful Eleventh Edition bound in soft maroon leatherette with titles in gilt on spine. a.e.g. Square and clean throughout with little or no wear or toning. A small smudge here and there to the covers but quite minor. Scattered foxing to end-papers only. Remarkably well-preserved and likely due to the still-present dust-jacket. Unpriced, the jacket looks like it was custom made and personalized with the buyers name stamped in gold on the front panel. Perhaps a special subscription or promotional program. Soft leather is sewn over green felt and with gilt turn-ins. Quite fragile, heavily toned and rubbed and the spine leather is split in several places though complete. A very pretty collectable copy and quite scarce with no other copies, in any edition, currently available in the market with a dust-jacket.
