Publisher: Sweden, Allhems Forlag : 1948

Seller ID: 21502

Binding: Hardcover

Condition: Very Good with No Dust Jacket as issued

Filled with great photos and drawings, mostly black & white. The color plates are wonderful and the boxing photos are the best I've ever seen. Looks very much like an encyclopedia but I can't read a word of it because it's Swedish text. Marbled boards, half-bound in brown leather, gilt lettering on raised band spine. Three pages of signatures (facsimile, not actual) of presumably olympic athletes. Edgewear with moderate fraying at extremities. Backstrip still brilliant, binding tight and pages are clean and solid. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall; 351 pages; 21502
