THEODORE ROOSEVELT: THE STRENUOUS LIFE Stated first edition with DJ John Garraty

Description: STATED FIRST EDITION PUBLISHED BY HARPER & ROW FOR AMERICAN HERITAGE. THIS HAS THE EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION DUST JACKET, WHICH IS IDENTICAL TO THE PICTORIAL BOARDS AND LIKELY THE REASON NO ONE KEPT THE JACKET. JACKET HAS AN INTERNALLY REPAIRED TEAR ON REAR PANEL (PHOTO 10) NEAR THE WORD "ABRAHAM".THIS IS PART OF THE AMERICAN HERITAGE JUNIOR LIBRARY. THE DUST JACKET IS VERY GOOD WITH EDGE WEAR, MOSTLY ON THE FOLDS AND SPINE EDGES. SOME DISCOLORATION AND LIGHT SOILING AND SURFACE RUBBING TO THE BROWN ON SPINE. THE BOOK IS VERY GOOD PLUS WITH AGE RELATED PAPER TONING AND MINOR EDGE WEAR TO THE BOARDS. THE ONLY CONDITION ISSUE WITH THE BOOK IS WHERE THE REAR DECORATED END PAPERS WERE GLUED DOWN AND EXCESS GLUE IS VISIBLE AND DISCOLORED DUE TO AGE (PHOTO 9). THERE IS ALSO SOME AGE RELATED DISCOLORATION TO BOARDS. PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO INSPECT ALL PHOTOS I utilize a third party EBAY supplied shipper for international sales. This is part of the Global Shipping Program. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. I have no control over import fees that may be charged. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you. For International Buyers: Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper. 5BAGTEDDY300 Listing and template services provided by inkFrog PLEASE NOTE: For book sales, I virtually always include a vinyl bag tightly wrapped on the exterior. This is an attempt to prevent any USPS employee from opening the package for inspection as it would be time consuming for them to repackage it. This is done simply because my packaging is done more carefully than their repackaging and also to protect the book from the elements. The vinyl bag covers cardboard protection and you can simply cut the bag open (carefully) and remove the contents. The cardboard protection is also typically held with tape and cutting in the obvious places will allow the cardboard to pop right open, exposing the book (in another protective vinyl bag). Using this method, you should be able to open any book I send in under a minute. No "buzz saw" is required. Thank you
