Twenty Years at Hull-House by Jane Addams ( Signet | 1st. Printing | 1961 )

Overall condition is acceptable. This book was found in a discard bin in pieces. The cover and all pages up to and including 36, were scattered around the bin and were collected together. In examining the book, someone had already attempted to put it back together as many of the loose pages were taped together. The spine of the book was also battered, especially along the top cover edge and the lower portion of the spine. So, I separated all of the pages, trimmed them to cut away the excess tape, and as best possible, glued them back into the book. Of course, due to the spine issues, these pages did not fit flush and are as even as I could make them. Clear binding tape was applied to the spine and covers to prevent further deterioration and white glue was used to stiffen the spine paper. So, while not perfect, the book is back to a state that it is perfectly readable. Still, suffice it to say that the book has a good bit of wear and the scans are evidence of that. The spine itself has lower edge chipping but has no real creasing. Interior pages have some discoloration with age. This was a former student's book as the person's name is on the front cover, some of the pages have pencil underlining, and there is writing on the inside of the back cover.
