FINDING THE NORTH POLE, DR. COOK'S OWN STORY OF HIS DISCOVERY, APRIL 21, 1908, THE STORY OF COMMANDER PEARY'S DISCOVERY, APRIL 6, 1909 [SALESMAN'S SAMPLE]

Philadelphia, PA; Universal Book and Bible House, [1909]. Salesman's abbreviated edition. No pagination. Illustrated with b/w photographs. Highly decorated grayish green cloth boards.  No dj.  Condition is good.  Cover decorations still pretty bright.  Boards show wear and grime, with bumping to tips and edges. Light dampstain to outside page margin on first 35 or so pages; these are the photograph pages and the stain disappears thereafter.  Hinges starting to crack. No foxing or any other internal markings. Sadly for someone, no markings in the salesman's orders section. Includes many photographs, the first few pages of each chapter, and then a section for the salesperson to mark down orders. (cfm)
