The essential 1939 edition is somewhat hard to find, especially in good condition.The covers are bright with minimal shelf wear. There is a bumped corner, and some crinkling. The hinges are intact, however they are loosening, especially the front interior. The textblock is bright for its age, although the edges have some light soiling/foxing. Other than some minor bookseller pencilling, there are no known marks. I have noticed two minor page tears. Both bookmarks are intact. The endpapers are smooth and in good condition, which is unusual for for these old landscape-format Jane's. I have another copy that is in Good- condition. It is $79 plus shipping. Contact me if you are interested.
