The Trees by Conrad Richter. #962. Printed January 1952, original copyright 1940. Published by Bantam Books, printed in the United States. In poor condition. There is a large crease on the front cover, wear to the cover and spine edges, and major wear to the spine at the front cover edge. The front cover and spine have separated from the binding slightly, causing the pages in the first half of the book to shift forward, which is outwardly visible. The pages are all still well connected, but there is a large space along the spine/binding where you can see the left page edges and binding glue. While they are still connected, repeatedly opening the book could cause the front pages to separate from the glue/binding. Paperback.
