6 Feet 6 Sam Houston Bessie Rowland James Marquis James 1st Ed. DJ Exc Cond '31

Description: Wow this is a great 1st edition copy of this 1931 book, "6 Feet 6--The Heroic Story of Sam Houston" printed by Bobbs Merrill and written by Bessie Rowland James and Marquis James, illustrated with woodcuts by Lowell Balcom. It is aimed at the higher elementary school student. This is an unusually lovely copy of such an old book. I bet it is "New Old Stock", probably sat at the bookseller's (the bookseller whose label is on the flyleaf is here in Baton Rouge) and never was circulated. Dust jacket looks almost new, just a little yellowing from age, which is predictable with a 90 year old book! If you want a beautiful collectible book about Texas history, this will display beautifully.
