The Battle of New Orleans (From the Personal Library of Dust-jacket Artist H. Lawrence Hoffman)
New York: Crown Publishers, 1961. H. Lawrence Hoffman. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #018192
8vo., 212pp. Sharp First Edition. Bound in mustard yellow cloth with titles in black on spine and illustration on the front panel. Square, tight and clean throughout with mild off-setting to paste-downs and a few spots on the outer edge of the front end-paper. A touch of rubbing to spine ends but quite minor. No toning to pages. Attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($3.00), has a couple of small chips on the top rear edge. Mild wear to extremities and light soiling to the rear panel. Still fresh and bright and quite presentable. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the dust-jacket. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A pretty collectable copy.
