The listing, The House of Goodyear Hardcover – 1949 by Hugh Allen has ended.
As many of you know, I deal in books here and on a number of sites, I currently have over 1000 books in my inventory. I am getting ready to donate some of these out. Before I do, I am offering the books for one 3 day auction only. The starting bid reflects what it cost for me to mail the book giving you free shipping, and not the value of the book at all. So if interested, please bid, as it will not be offered again if not won in this round. This book is close to 3 lbs. In great condition for its age. It does not have a dust cover.
I have added some photos, they area scans of some of the first pages in the book. If you see a small smudge on the scans it is from my printer and not on the pages. I noticed it after I ran the scan. The binding is flawless, and the are no damage to the pages, other than some light tanning from age. I even have the original flyer that advertised this book that will go with it. It is just missing the dust cover. Not ex-library, from a private collection.
