Very Good. See scans and description. Cambridge, MA: The Riverside Press, 1926. Frances Courtenay Baylor's 'Juan and Juanita', illustrated with color plates by Gustaf Tenggren on the cover, frontis, and three other locations. Octavo, Tenggren's plate illustration pastedown on deep navy cloth boards (essentially, black, to the naked eye), illustrated endpapers, 300 pp. A handsome Very Good, with long-ago dust on pages edges, just very light touching of the spine ends and corners (scans), some soil at front cover (scan), and a vintage bookshop sticker at rear pastedown (something that is collected, by specialists). Firmly bound, with no hinge issues, although the frontis page itself wants to loosen. See all scans. Frances Courtenay Baylor's 1888 story - alleged in the introduction to be "true, in its essential facts" - of the two Mexican youngsters, Juan and Juanita, and their dog Amigo, who are captured north of the border by Comanche indians and held captive for four years, after which time they escaped and made their way safely back home - through numerous perils. A nice, and handsome, example of the kind of thing Riverside and other publishers offered at the time (1926). See scans. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box, of course - not a bag. L10n
