American Political Ribbons and Ribbon Badges 1825-1981 (First Edition)

Description: Condition Continued: And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.The dust jacket is in very nice condition. You can see in the first few photos. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. I took it off to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I will fit the jacket with a new protective cover after the photos are taken. I thought I saw a small, thin tear off the front bottom edge just adjacent to the spine. I was right. It is mostly closed. It is only 3/8th of an inch long. I also found a closed 1/4 inch tear off the front bottom edge, and one other closed 1/4 inch tear off the rear bottom edge. There are no other tears. There are no chips or losses. The jacket is, to my eye, quite clean. There are a few little instances of slight darkening. The spine is slightly toned. The flaps are in very good shape. The jacket is not priced or clipped. Quarterman Publications, Lincoln, Massachusetts, 1985. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. First Edition (NAP). Written by Roger A. Fischer and Edmund B. Sullivan.
