Treasure Island, Stevenson, Year Unknown Illustrated by Lyle Justis

by Ralf
(El Lago, TX, USA)

I am guessing this book was published in around 1930 only because there are others illustrated by Lyle that were dated by Lyle. But this copy has NO DATE of any kind. It was published by Halcyon House in Garden City, NY. It still has its dustcover although it is stained and ripped. There is a stripe about 2" wide inside both covers adjoining the spine where the paper oxidized without the protection of the cover paper pressing against it. The pages are uniformly yellowed slightly more so toward the edges. The boards look very good on their exterior and the binding is tight.
