Seller's Description:
Very Good Plus in Very Good jacket. Size: 8x6x1; Vintage Hardback Cloth Book with Dust Jacket. Book itself is in Very Good Plus condition with a tight binding and clean crisp pages. Book has the decorative end pages, which designates it as an early printing. Inside text is in Very Good Plus condition and appears to be unread and unused. There is a Landmark Book Plate inside the front cover and bent upper corner tips on some middle inside pages, which probably occurred when moving around and not in reading the book. No other writing or marks inside or outside of the book. Outside cloth covers are nice with some minor corner wear. Dust Jacket is NOT price clipped (150/150). Dust Jacket shows some minor soiling primarily to the back cover with edge chipping and small missing pieces primarily at the top and bottom of the outside spine. Dust Jacket is now covered by a new clear mylar cover. This is NOT an ex-library book, but has come from a private collection. Landmark Books and World Landmark Books are accurate, in-depth stories for young people in the 9-15 year old range.

Written during the 1950's and 1960's and illustrated either with two-color drawings or clear photographs, the books are informative, enjoyable, and well worth reading and collecting. The Pirate Lafitte and the Battle of New Orleans-Pirates! Mystery! A Stirring Battle! Mixed together, they make an exciting story. Add true events and real people, and the result is an amazing chapter from American history that will thrill all readers.
