Details

  • Title: How John Became a Man: Life Story of a Motherless Boy
  • Author: Isabel C. Byrum
  • Publisher: Gospel Trumpet Company, Anderson, Indiana
  • Copyright: 1917
  • Format: Hardcover
  • Pages: 96
  • Illustrations: Black and white illustrations
  • ISBN: No ISBN
  • Dimensions: Approximately 7 1/2 x 5 x 1/2 inches

Condition

This is a well worn copy that shows its age clearly on the outside, while the interior remains useful for reading.

  • Blue cloth covers have noticeable fading, discoloration, spotting, rubbing, and surface wear.
  • Corners and cover edges are worn and frayed.
  • The spine cloth has fading, rubbing, and wear at the ends.
  • Page edges are strongly toned with age.
  • Interior pages are age toned but remain clean, readable, and easy to handle.
  • Several black and white illustrations are present.
  • There is old pencil writing on the rear endpaper.
  • The endpapers show age discoloration and staining.
  • No dust jacket is present.

If you want a crisp display copy, the exterior wear will probably be more than you want. If you are looking for an original 1917 copy to read, research, or add to a collection of early Christian children's books, the interior has held up much better than the covers.
