Bancroft, Edith Jane Allen Right Guard
Akron Saalfield 1918 Reprint Hardcover Very Good- Good+ Book
Handsome copy of the Saalfield reprint (It is my understanding that Saalfield is always a reprint house) The book's black stamping on vivid green boards reads beautifully, crisp. Text unmarked except for name penned and trace of erasure abrasion first endsheet. The text is typically rather brown, though, seemingly not crisp, binding tight, no gapping, no problems. The jacket really makes the book, spine sunned, with the odd short tear, edgewear, but looking swell in its mylar wrapper.

Cameron, Eleanor A Mystery For Mister Bass
Boston Atlantic, Little Brown 1960 Later Printing See Below Hardcover Good No Jacket Book Signed by Author(s)
We use Ahearn's definition of First Edition i.e later printings of the first do not meet the standard. See "Book Collecting" for the full definition.This unjacketed hard cover is dated 1960 and stated as 5th printing. It is rather scarce even in later printings and lesser copies. Not x-library. No de-bossing mark is present and I suspect it was not book clubbed in this version. The signature is oddly done and would have raised my eyebrows a bit, but, it was acquired (along with other signed work by childrens authors Keats, Goode and Balch) from the estate of a serious collector. It seems likely to have been acquired casually by it's owner and given to Cameron later for her signature/illustration. What appear to be erasures have been made on the first endsheet. Garage sale price likely. Other easures have been made. A lightly pencilled (perhaps erased) original inscription is present overlaid by a green penned "Very best Wishes From Your friends Eleanor Cameron and Mr. Tyco Bass" with mushroom drawing. All wirting present seems correct for Cameron. Front board illustration reads nicely, tiny trace tip abrasion. The original collectors (childrens librarian) book plate is present at the lower corner of the first pastedown. A name is felt penned on last paste down (I suspect from the garage sale vendor of the item) neatly. The lower corner of back board has a bit of speckle. Text unmarked, miniscule degree of cocking, hard to see. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*
