ANTIQUE BOOK MODERN GREAT AMERICANS SHORT BIOGRAPHIES OF TWENTY GREAT AMERICANS OF MODERN TIMES WHO WON WIDE RECOGNITION FOR ACHIEVEMENTS IN VARIOUS TYPES OF ACTIVITY BY FREDERICK HOUK LAW 1926 The hard cover book is in nice condition for it's age with some flaws. The book was owned by my Great Grandfather W.D. VINCENT He had a large collection of books which he loaned out like a library. So on the first page of all his books will be his FROM THE LIBRARY STICKER that says: RETURN TO THE LIBRARY OF W.D. VINCENT BOSIE, IDAHO and then the book was numbered. The number was also put on the outside binding. (Pictured) On the inside back hard cover. was a numbered ticket for those who borrowed his book. The pages are all intact and the spine and book binding is tight and so are the pages. (Pictured) The hard cover has some wear on the front and back, with discoloration. The book measures 7.5" X 5 1/4" With 314 Pages There are no rips or tears on the pages and all the pages are clean with some illustrations. Please look at the pictures. The book has sat on a library style book shelf for the past 40+ years. We thought a collector might enjoy the book rather than to just have it sit and collect dust. Thanx for looking and check back often as we are always adding new merchandise. :D
