A Girl of the Limberlost

The book shows significant wear, particularly around the spine, which is reinforced with tape. The binding is compromised, with visible separation between pages and cover. The hardcover is intact but exhibits edge wear and fading. No dust jacket is present, and the pages show signs of aging, such as yellowing and foxing. Despite these flaws, the text remains legible, and the illustrations by Wladyslaw T. Benda are a notable feature.
