Product Details

HISTORY: From the beloved collection of the Atkinson family, whose stories are weaved together in George Howe Colt's New York Times notable book of the year, "The Big House: A Century in the Life of an American Summer Home." Many of these books are inscribed by Atkinson family members. I highly recommend Colt's memoir, if only to discover the history behind these eclectic family treasures. DETAILS/CONDITION: Covers show moderate wear, including: rubbing to extremities, scuffs, and stains. Gilt detail on front cover. All edges gilt. Rear hinge is cracked. Inscription on FFEP. Spine is visible through signatures when open flat halfway through book. Pages are otherwise crisp and clean.
