Hardcover. Etat : Very Good Plus. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good Minus. 'Decorations' by Clotilde Embree Funk (illustrateur). 1st Edition. Stated First Edition. You can see the yellow covers in the photographs. They are very clean. They have fairly minor wear, a few small bump/creases, two at the corners, one off the top edge of the rear cover. There's a little bit of creasing at the spine ends. The design on the front cover and the lettering on the spine are both very bright. The book is very solidly bound. There are no binding issues at all. The page are exceptionally clean. In scrolling through I didn't see any soiling. They are also in very good condition I didn't see any creasing. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There is an illustration on the title page where it also states 'Decorations' by Clotilde Embree Funk (that name in itself is a 'decoration' of some sort. In scrolling through the pages I didn't see any other 'decorations'. Perhaps they are referring to the cover and dust jacket illustrations. Kinda funny or funky. Included with the book is a Longmans Green & Company calling card (7 by 3 inches) which says 'We take pleasure in sending you this book for review.' It notes the price of the book and the publication date and asks the reviewer to send two copies of the review back to the the Longmans 5th Avenue New York address. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photographs. I think its held up quite well. The 'Minus' in my rating is due to a very small loss off the top edge of the rear (third photo). Otherwise, there's just a little bit of soiling on the spine, and very light edge wear. The jacket is NOT price-clipped. The flaps are in very good condition. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover.

'Karen Blake is not happy when her father returns after ten years as mining engineer in Nicaragua. She had long resented his absence, not knowing the reasons. Before he had left Hunters' Point, fires had caused the shut-down of the Lee Copper Co. and thrown many men out of work. The townspeople had blamed Julian Blake and they still hold him responsible for their misery. Karen had always lived at Hunters' Point and had looked forward to going to college with her friends Neil and Linda. Now with her father's return everything has changed and she wishes they could go elsewhere to live. Home is a sad place with father silently studying and writing day after day. The town is hostile; something is going on. Who is deliberately setting people against her family? The gossip increases and is so generally believed that hte high-school classes mutiny against Karen's teacher-mother; men try to fight her father. Julian Blake thinks he knows the answer. Since a fake gold strike has been rigged, he must be discredited because as a mining engineer he'd know too much. Against his orders, Karen tries to warn her friends of the swindle. Furious at what they think is jealousy of their good fortune, they turn on her. It takes great courage for Mrs. Blake to go on teaching hostile classes. Finally Karen, and Neil at last awake to the danger, trap the swindlers and save Mr. Blake's life. This is, first of all the story of brave people facing up to a hostile, wilfully blind community. It is also a mystery story.' 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Fiction, Modern First Editions.; Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request.
