This is an old hardcover book in the wonderful Bobbsey Twins series by Laura Lee Hope. It evidently was the third in the series, The Bobbsey Twins at the Seashore, published by Grosset & Dunlap, I don't know the date as the title page is missing. It contains 211 pages. It is in fair condition, the lettering is fading, the cover paste-down is intact and nice-it has had some light scribbling in pencil on it, faint but there. There is a 2 1/2" split along the spine at the bottom of the front, the usual edgewear of an older book. As mentioned the title page is missing, also the front free endpage, the book now starts with Chapter 1. There is a large crack in the front hinge, the back hinge is cracked less, the binding is not really tight, but the pages are all together and look to stay that way for awhile yet. It would be a good filler copy for your collection until you find a really nice copy or just a good reading copy, it is well read but still has a few reads left!
