‎The Albaugh-Dover Co‎

‎The Eckerle Piano: Reasons Why‎

‎Chicago: Albaugh-Dover Co. Poor. 1907. First Edition. Softcover. Well we find them the way we find them. Where to start. The cover is soiled & water stained. The lower edge is rodent nibbled which goes most of the way through although the loss decreases as you go into the book. Open the cover and you see water damage to the upper left corner. Primarily the first few pages. While the rest don't show the water stain they are slightly wrinkled. The binding is however just fine. Finally some long-gone kid practiced the abc's all over the back cover and just a line or so on the front. With all that it is a very scarce catalog loaded with info. Price is as-is. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 56 pages . Albaugh-Dover Co. paperback‎

‎Portland Oregon: Montgomery Ward. Fair. 1915. First Edition. Softcover. The very first page Is missing but was perforated for removal. Probably an order form. The pages are not numbered consecutively. A bit confusing. There is a separate first section which starts on page 39 but it does not appear that many pages could have been removed. I see no indication of missing pages in the balance of the book. Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not likely to find another copy to compare it to. Price is as-is. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall .
