Author: YOUNG, Clarence
Title: The Motor Boys or Chums Through Thick and Thin
Description: New York, Cupples & Leon Company, 1906. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Green cloth with white lettering and black, red and white pictorial stamping. 246pp, (4pp ads). Frontispiece, 3 full-page plates. Very good. Quite mild edgewear, with spine faintly rubbed; nonauthorial gift inscription on front flyleaf. A tight, bright, attractive early printing of the first title in "The Motor Boys" first series. Lists up to this title on copyright page (first three titles were all issued 1906) and to the fourth title ("The Motor Boys Across the Plains," published 1907) in ad at rear, thus making this likely the second printing. This first "Motor Boys" series published 16 titles between 1906 and 1915, the second series six titles between 1916 and 1924. An uncommon sharp copy of one of the earliest printings (though not the first) of the first title in this popular, long-running series. Fun front board graphic shows the three boys in moroting garb touring in a right-hand drive horseless carriage. .
