ALGER, Horatio, Jr. - Dean Dunham or the Waterford Mystery

Leyden, MA, Aeonian Press, 1975. Hardcover. Introduction by Ralph D. Gardner. 8vo. Lavender cloth with gilt spine lettering and decoration. iii, 275pp. Frontispiece, illustrations. Very good. Spine ever-so-faintly sunned, else internally near fine. Tight, quite nice first of this reprint edition of this 1891adventure of a plucky 16-year-old trying to unravel the mystery of his uncle's robbery. Gardner (1924-2005), New York advertising executive better known as a pioneering Alger biographer and bibliographer, introduces this text -- and the front flyleaf bears a fine archival, decorative-edged bookplate boldly inscribed and signed by him in blue fineline: "Wish best wishes / from / Ralph D. Gardner." An exceptional copy of a much less often seen title -- and with a fine autograph addition. .
