All the cover lettering is rubbed and there is some edge wear and small stains. Acceptable. Hardcover.

The story keeps pace throughout with the fast flying machines it depicts, whether a five-cylinder racer on the track, the huge touring car on the highway, or amid the bustle and confusion of the factory where the flyers are being built. Against this background of drivers, mechanicians, gasoline and grime, a beautiful love story unfolds itself.  1.3  (#00006)
