HIRSHBERG (PHOTO 2), WHOSE UNFORTUNATE CLAIM TO FAME IS BEING CONVICTED OF MAIL FRAUD IN 1922. HE DID GRADUATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS IN 1902 AND WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL "HEALTH WRITER" IN MEDICAL JOURNALS. HE COLLABORATED WITH H.L MENCKEN ON A SERIES OF BABY ARTICLES THAT WAS PUBLISHED AS "WHAT YOU OUGHT TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR BABY" (a very rare volume i am selling in my wife's account) CORNER WEAR TO BOARDS AND EDGE WEAR TO SPINE (PHOTO 1 & 12). THERE IS A ONE INCH HARD SCRAPE TO EDGE OF REAR BOARD RESULTING IN CLOTH LOSS (PHOTO 11 & 12). THERE IS AN UPPER CORNER BUMP THAT AFFECTS ABOUT 60 PAGES (PHOTO 8). THERE IS A $1- PRICE ON FRONT PASTE DOWN (PHOTO 10). AGE RELATED PAPER TONING. NO OTHER WRITING FOUND, THOUGH THERE MIGHT BE SOME, NO TEARS AND NO HARD CREASES. ADVERTISING AT REAR OF BOOK FOR PUBLISHER (PHOTO 9) PLEASE USE ZOOM FUNCTION TO INSPECT ALL PHOTOS 5bag 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
