HANCOCK, H. Irving - Dave Darrin's First Year at Annapolis or Two Plebe Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy

Philadelphia, Henry Altemus Company, 1910. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Tan cloth with red lettering and red and green pictorial stamping. 253pp, (3pp), (8pp ads). Frontispiece, 3 full-page illustrations. Very good/good plus. Light age toning to binding, mainly to spine, with endpapers faintly age toned from jacket contact; jacket edgeworn, with large chips at spine tail and along bottom of front panel. Tight and quite nice very early printing of the first title in the 4-volume "Annapolis Series" (1910-11) -- not the common Saalfield reprints of later years. Early state jacket in light beige and a thin, delicate stock that seldom survives. Ads at rear and on jacket rear panel list other series titles of early to mid teens vintage, thus approximately dating this copy. A scarce early Altemus edition in the rarely found dust jacket. .
