John D: A Portrait in Oils
New York: Vanguard, 1929.
Sold
Hardcover. First edition. The Mercury-head dime intended to be inset on the front board of the book is lacking, probably having fallen prey to a penurious bookseller, else very good in good, spine-faded dustwrapper with several small nicks and tears. The jacket is die-cut (by the publisher) so that the dime would show through in the illustration of Rockefeller giving the coin to a golf caddie (the tycoon was famous for passing out dimes to children). Scarce in jacket. $.10 accounted for in the price in order to replace the dime.
