About This Item
Chicago: M.A. Donohue & Co. Adopted as a baby, Frank Fowler must fend for himself when his adoptive mother dies, but soon he will uncover his real history. This reprint of a book originally published in 1887 is probably from around 1900. It is in Fair condition (click on photo). Both covers are present but unattached. The spine cloth has some pieces missing. The binding, however, is secure. The acidic paper stock used has caused overall page browning, but the pages are all clean and unstained, with no tears. The book measures 5 by 7 1/2 inches and includes 247 pages.. Hard Cover. Fair/No Dust Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
