Sobre este item
A 1932 reprint of the original 1854 autobiography of William Stuart, a notorious criminal and counterfeiter from Connecticut, written in order to guide others away from the criminal path he had taken. A fascinating early true crime account by the perpetrator himself. This volume is in Good condition, and does not come with a dust jacket. The binding is tight and the text entirely legible. There is wear to the red cloth on the top and bottom of the spine as well as on the corners and on spot on the front edge of the cover. The gilt lettering on the spine is quite faded. There is a tipped-in description on the front paste-down and a tipped-in title page on the front endpaper. There is also the signature of a previous owner on the front flyleaf.
