Up for auction we have the Matchlock Gun Walter D. Edmonds. This is the first edition, 1941. The cover of the book is a little rough and showing wear and scuffing on the edges and corners. Some of the material in the spine area is starting to deteriorate away. The binding of the book is loose and is separating from the front to the back of the book. There is writing inside the front and rear boards of the book. The title page does have a few spots from something that was once sticky. The rest of the book is in good condition with some page toning showing from age. I did see a little pencil writing and a few small tears on the page edges. The color illustrations are beautiful.  I can send more pictures on request.  Please see my store for many more great items.
