THE BEARDS' BASIC HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES- HC- VINTAGE - 1944 VINTAGE

The original front - spine - and back cover of this hardcover book has a textured look and feel, somewhat of a denim style cloth covering. This is a Vintage hardcover book edition with no original dust cover jacket, printed, circa 1944, which will show aging, scratches, scrapes at the very tip of the front/back cover edges, scuff bumps scraping at the perimeter edges of the front - back - spine covers. All internal pages are in good structural condition, showing no kinds of rips within the internal binding of this book. However all internal pages will show minute moderate browning of the pages, which can be visible with a browning hue at the perimeter edges. There is no indication of foxing - tiny brown dots found within the internal pages. There are no indications of any form of writing, such as a highlighting, underlining of the pages, at a scan by flipping the pages. A masking tape is seen at the very top edges of the spine cover, securing a rip, and a masking tape seem to be placed inside the bottom of the spine. The front cover title heading has a debossed “pressed down” imprint filled in black colors. The spine title heading and Author’s name is also debossed “pressed down” imprint. The outside background is a color black and the inside lettering is filled in gold tone colors, which include the Author’s name. Here at the spine region, you can see the masking tape at the top edge, a ding & an indent visible. Author: Charles A. Beard and Mary R. Beard Copyright 1944
