Condition

Cover loose and detached at front and spine. Scattered staining. Select black and white illustrations colored in by previous owner. On p. 57, "saw" is misprinted as "was". On page 155, the second "5" is different from the first, likely hand stamped. The heading for chapter VI reads "Huck Decided to leave". The illustrations list mistakenly lists "Him and another Man" on pg. 88. The "l" is missing from "Col." in the first line of page 143.
