  • Abraham Lincoln: The Prairie Years and the War Years: One Volume Edition

    Carle Sandburg

    Hardcover (Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc, March 15, 1954)
    This 762-page hardcover was published in 1954 by Harcourt. This is a one-volume edition. There is no dustcover, however, the deep red hardcover is very nice. There is minimal shelving wear, with very slight bumping along edges, with a slight fading on the spine. The gold lettering on the face and spine is very good. The pages appear clean and unmarked, with a previous owner's name plate on inside cover. The binding is solid and flexible. Overall, a very nice conditioned volume.
