About this Item

This NF quality first edition book was published in 1958 by Grosset & Dunlap. It is 7-5/8" tall and has 180 numbered pages of text; it is the blue tweed cover of format #1, as per Mattson & Davis's bibliography (Grosset & Dunlap; 7-5/8"; textured composition binding, medium blue with dark blue lettering; plain front except for dark blue illustration of Tom Swift, Jr.'s head in upper right area of front cover, superimposed over a blueprint; pictorial end pages in shades of blue on white, depicting Tom at the window of his flying lab; frontis +8 to +11 full or partial page illustration, all on plain paper. White coated paper dust jacket, pictorial, in colors, different scene for each title; illustration covers front & spine panels; spine contains series logo of Tom's head superimposed over a blueprint with black rectangle below containing "The New Tom Swift Adventures" and the title number enclosed in a white or gray diamond). This book is square, very clean, free of corner bumps and edge dings; the head and heel of the spine have very slight bumps. The bottom edges and corners have a moderate amount of wear. It has slight fading around the top edge of the boards, fading that is fairly typical of this series. The interior is completely free of writing, stray marks, stains of any sort and page damage of any type. Both hinges are very strong and not damaged. The frontis and other illustrations are intact. The paper is quite flexible. The book lists only the first 11 Swift Jr. titles on the back of the half-title page; there is no other list in the book. This book could almost pass for new. This VG+ quality jacket is very clean and the colors on the front panel and spine are not damaged or faded. It has small chips at both front corners and tiny ones at the head and heel of the spine and a 1/2" tear at the bottom of the front panel. This jacket is not price-clipped. There is no tape on this jacket. The rear panel advertises the first 12 titles of this series. Seller Inventory # BMR-2020-6-19-2
