A propos de cet article

A bright, well-preserved first edition of Miss Minerva’s Problem, one of Emma Speed Sampson’s popular juvenile novels, illustrated throughout by Clifford P. Benton and published by Reilly & Lee in 1936. Bound in the publisher’s original orange cloth, this copy retains strong color with crisp black stamped illustration and lettering to both the front cover and spine. The binding is tight and square, with only light rubbing at the extremities consistent with careful shelf storage. The spine remains fully legible with no structural issues. The interior is notably clean. Pages show only light, even age toning typical of Reilly & Lee productions of the period, with no writing, no bookplates, no ownership marks, and no tears or loose pages. All illustrated plates and in-text drawings by Clifford P. Benton are present and sharp, enhancing the book’s visual and collectible appeal. A particularly attractive example of a 1930s Reilly & Lee children’s title, and a strong candidate for collectors of vintage juvenile fiction, illustrated books, or early 20th-century American publishing. 📐 Condition Very Good+ Original orange cloth, tight and square Minor edge and corner wear only Spine lettering clear and intact Interior clean and unmarked Light, even age toning All illustrations present No dust jacket (as issued or not present) 📚 Notes on Collectability Emma Speed Sampson’s Miss Minerva titles are increasingly sought, particularly in first editions with bright cloth and clean interiors. Clifford P. Benton’s illustrations add further desirability. This copy stands out for its color retention, structural soundness, and lack of interior defects.…

Description de la boutique

Welcome to The Hidden History of Books, where every volume has a story waiting to be rediscovered. As a retired librarian with a background in scholarly research and book provenance, I specialize in rare books and first editions that span all genres — from the overlooked and obscure to the culturally iconic. My inventory is carefully sourced from estate sales and private collections, with a focus on books that carry the quiet weight of time, ownership, and intellectual legacy. I believe a book’s value lies not just in its content or rarity, but in the lives it has touched along the way — authors, owners, annotators, and collectors. That belief informs everything I do. You can count on: Conservative grading — no surprises, no exaggerations. I highlight flaws openly and describe condition with care. Detailed listings with a focus on historical and bibliographic context when available. Fast, safe shipping using USPS Media Mail and secure packaging to protect your purchase. Whether you’re a collector, a scholar, or a fellow lover of forgotten shelves, I invite you to browse the catalog and uncover the hidden histories that live between the covers.…
