Young Adult Hardcover Book, Spooks of the Valley, Louis C. Jones, Fiction, Illustrated, Ghost Stories

A wonderful young adult hardcover book called Spooks of the Valley (Ghost Stories for Boys and Girls) by Louis C. Jones. Illustrated by Erwin H. Austin. This is a 1948 first edition, tenth printing, library edition.

All boys and girls like ghost stories. Most of them don't realize, though, that some of the most "ghostly" ones have been handed down for generations and are based on real events. America has scores of them, and the Hudson River Valley probably has more per mile than any other place. These are real "don't-stop-now" tales, especially as told by Louis Jones, who has a way with words and who knows what he is talking about--even to ghosts!

Louis Jones was a director of the New York State Historical Association and its Farmers’ Museum at Cooperstown, N.Y.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.

Poor: Describes a book that is sufficiently worn. Any missing maps or plates should still be noted. This copy may be soiled, scuffed, stained or spotted and may have loose joints, hinges, pages, etc.

Binding Copy: describes a book in which the pages or leaves are perfect but the binding is very bad, loose, off, or nonexistent.

Reading Copy: A copy usually in poor to fair condition that includes all text presented in a legible fashion. The copy is fine to read but nothing more.
