1989058006Reading PA: Historical Society of Berks County Printed by Reading Eagle Press 1989. Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Grouping of four 4 volumes of the Meisers' Passing Scene series consisting of Volumes 6 7 8 and 10 issued in respectively dark green lavender rust and light blue cloth lettered in gold foil. All volumes are complete but were "Historical Review" editor Chet Hagan's working copies from which he removed several leaves for copying and reinserted them by taping them back in along the binding edge resulting in some fore-edges projecting beyond the text block also a few minor inked notations. In most of the volumes only several leaves are affected; in Vol. 8 the worst offender about 6 leaves appear to have been removed and reinserted. Volumes otherwise show mild handling wear with a bit of foxing to endpapers of several some cover rubbing/spotting mild binding leans. 272 or so pp. per volume illus. All are decent enough reading/reference copies but certainly not collector-grade. Vol. 8 is inscribed by both authors and Vol. 10 by GMMIX both personalized to Hagan. Price is for all 4 volumes.
