Description: This hardcover book is DRUMS by James Boyd. Original first edition was 1925, unillustrated. This edition,1928, was illustrated by N. C. Wyeth, Andrew's father. It has 14 color illustrations and 47 pen drawings. He illustrated 112 books, 25 of them for Scribner's, which is the body of work he is best known for. This book is one of those 25. The hinge is coming loose from the binding. Still holding. There has been water damage which has caused some staining. I have photos of the worst extent. Some pages show little to no damage. Some pages show some rippling. Text is not affected. First free page has been signed by John Gilliam Wood, owner of Hayes Plantation,Edenton ,North Carolina. I got this during a recent clean up at Hayes. They recently discovered 1 of 14 copies of the US Constitution. Here at Hayes. In a metal file cabinet. It may bring $50 million at Brunk Auction later this year. Years back they found a copy of the Declaration of Independence. Google Hayes Plantation. A lot of history here. No other writing. Shipping is by USPS Media Mail in a cardboard box, not just a bag or a bubble envelope like these big book companies with stock photos and free shipping. You have no idea what you will get.
