Bookstore sticker on the back pasted free endpaper: Bretano's Booksellers and Stationers New York. This was once the largest bookstore chain in the US, but unfortunately following the liquidation of its parent company, Borders Group, in 2011, they closed their doors. They were founded in 1853 by Austrian immigrant August Breatano as a newsstand in front of the New York Hotel. By 1928, it had become the largest bookstore chain in the country. The chain was sold to Crowell-Collier Publishing in 1962 and later Macmillan in the 1970s. It was acquired by Waldenbooks (a Kmart subsidiary) in 1984. Brentano's filed for bankruptcy in 1982. Used, vintage, antique, previously owned, displayed, and such items, are not new or mint condition. They will show signs of wear. It is impossible to describe every tiny detail of every item. If there is a major damage or wear or repair, I will reveal it in the description, in either the images or the wording. But if I don't notice a detail, it is not intentional. I describe my items honestly. Photographs are part of the description just as much as the words, therefore looking at the photographs, I might not write in words what I have already shown clearly in the photographs. A-2
