Reader's Digest Book Club Anthology, Vol 1, 1956, HB

Description: For Sale: Reader's Digest Book Club Anthology, Volume One, 1956. This book has been previously owned, showing some shelf wear at the edges and spine. The binding is coming separated at the cover page, see picture. The pages are darkened with age but clean with no markings. Included are 3 condensed stories:The Way West by A. B. Guthrie, Jr., 1950. Illustrations by Lyle Justis. A story of the pioneer drive westward, bringing vividly to life the day-by-day drama of a wagon train the the 1840's. A poignant story of innocent young Mercy McBee, swept away by the passion of one man, rescued by the tenderness of another. Here, too, is the bitter clash for leadership within the train, amid the constant menace of hostile Indians, disease and a merciless terrain.My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier, 1952. Illustrations by Fritz Kredel. Romance, mystery and creeping suspense are woven together here. You must decide whether the fascinating Rachel Ashley is one of the most enchanting heroines in fiction-or one of the most sinister.The Cry And The Covenant by Morton Thompson, 1950. Decorations by Robert Ball. A fictionized though true story of a brilliant medical crusader in Vienna and Budapest of the 1850's. Dr. Semmelweis grew his passionate struggle against the appalling ignorance and bigotry that doomed one woman in three to die of childbed fever. Here is the inspiring story of a great human being whose epochal discovery was literally a gift of life to millions. I have hundreds of books that have been handed down through generations, plus recent books. Some are in great condition, some showing much use and some damage. A lot of the books came from homes, bay or beach houses along the Gulf Coast, back before air conditioning, where there is high humidity and severe weather at times. Especially some of the older books from the early 1900's. We were taught that books are very valuable and should never be destroyed as long as they are still readable.
