An assortment of literary volumes comprising three distinct works. The first item is a hardcover edition of The Slave Dancer: A Novel by Paula Fox, published by Bradbury Press, Scarsdale, New York. This volume features illustrations by Eros Keith and retains its original dust jacket, which is housed in a protective clear plastic sleeve. The jacket displays a gold Newbery Medal seal on the front and a library identification label on the lower left corner. The red reverse of the jacket shows ISBN 0-87888-062-3. The second item is Collected Verse of Edgar A. Guest, published by Reilly & Lee (R&L), Chicago. It is bound in the publisher’s dark brown textured cloth with ornate blind-embossed scrollwork and gold-stamped lettering on the front board and spine. The third item is a small-format volume titled Longfellow, published by M. A. Donohue & Co., Chicago. This work is bound in red textured cloth with decorative gold-stamped motifs on the front and spine. The interior features a frontispiece portrait of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and an ornate, engraved-style title page.
Condition report:
The condition of the collection ranges from poor to good. The Slave Dancer is an ex-library copy with a label on the dust jacket; the jacket and volume show typical signs of library use but remain largely intact. The Collected Verse of Edgar A. Guest exhibits moderate edge wear, rubbing to the extremities, and minor chipping to the head and tail of the spine. The Longfellow volume is in poor condition, featuring a heavily split and deteriorating spine, frayed cloth at the corners and edges, and a compromised binding.
