Publisher's blue textured cloth covers with the front cover and spine lettered in gilt. Illustrated dust jacket. Some rubbing to the covers and jacket, very minor bumping to the corners, sunned spine with the gilt worn off from the lettering, very few tiny tears to the head and foot of the jacket spine, some soiling to the jacket back, slightly toned endpapers. Altogether a very good copy. The author's influences for this work were his surroundings as a young child in western Tennessee as the son of a share-cropper. [and:] Edward Shanks.

Some rubbing to the covers, very minor bumping to the corners and head and foot of the spine, rubbing to the jacket, sunned jacket spine, small closed tears to the edges of the jacket, two tears to the top corners, small notations to the front free endpaper and rear pastedown endpapers. Altogether a very good copy. After discovering what Major Philip Laver and archaeologist Dyson believe to be Roman ruins in the English countryside, they stumbles upon the mysteriously enchanting village Temple Overroads, ruled by the curiously secret Justin Cole, or "Old King Cole." [and:] N. K. McKechnie. Heir of All the Ages: The Family Tree of Mr. Smith. Indianapolis: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, [1926]. Octavo. 300 pages. Publisher's golden yellow textured boards single ruled in light green. The front cover and spine are lettered in light green. Two salmon colored illustrated streaks across the back cover. Previous owner's bookplate affixed to the front pastedown endpaper.

The Bobbs-Merrill Company was begun in 1850 by Samuel Merrill in Indianapolis, Indiana. After a few transitions, in 1903 William Conrad Bobbs became partner and thus the name changed Bobbs-Merrill Company. The company was purchased by Howard W. Sams Company in 1959.Auction Info
