About this Item

Vintage Hardcover, First Edition, Signed by the Author, 1926, Henry Holt And Company, New York, 286 pages. Very Good, No DJ. Just a touch of shelf/edge wear to Rust cloth boards with black titles - corners sharp. The only flaws are: the rear cover has a faint damp stain and a small wrinkle on the spine. Warm half-page inscription to the previous owner and signed by the author on the FFEP. Special Note: I have 10 books by this author and each inscription is a little different (and personal) but to the same family. I wish I knew more about them but the name is hard to decipher. Aurora, Illinois is written underneath the Authors signature on each book. All other pages are clean and unmarked. Charles Pierce Burton (1862?1949) was a newspaper columnist and author of the "Bob's Hill" young adult books. Burton was born in Anderson, IN, in Madison County. As a child, Burton moved to Adams, MA, where he hiked around a ridge called Bob's Hill on the eastern slope of Mt. Greylock in Berkshire County. This ridge and the town of Adams would be the setting of the "Bob's Hill Series books. After the death of his mother, Burton and his father moved to Aurora, IL. Burton attended East Aurora High School, where he graduated in 1880. This is the eighth novel in the Bob's Hill Series. (Frontispiece and three others) by M. C. Phares on coated paper. Mattson #08800. Scarce, especially Signed. A very handsome Signed First Edition from the original Publisher (Henry Holt) minus the DJ with wonderful illustrations by M. C. Phares. LOC SSS-10.
