Modern Dogs: Their Standards, Care, Feeding, Breeding, Training and Treatment

New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Near Fine in Good dj. (c.1932). Reprint. Hardcover. [a good sound book, unmarked except for a previous owner's name plus date & place of purchase in ink at the top of the front endpaper; the jacket is moderately rubbed and worn, with a quarter-size chip at the top edge of the rear panel and a 3-inch closed (and internally tape-repaired) tear at the top of the front panel, along with tiny bits of paper loss at several corners; it's also been internally (and excessively) tape-reinforced along the top and bottom edges and all folds, although thankfully with a minimum amount of bleed-through, and it still puts up a decent appearance in a new mylar cover]. (B&W halftone photographs) A very presentable copy of this vintage compendium of canine knowledge and advice-to-owners, "illustrated with halftone engravings of typical specimens of the 92 breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club." ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this surprisingly heavy (given its modest size) book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
