Stratton-Porter's most rare publication that is currently listed online for sale at $240 to $550, so don't miss out here!(Exceptions to these prices are library bindings or poor beat up, very worn copies) You are bidding on a hardback copy of At the Foot of the Rainbow by Gene Stratton Porter. It was published in 1907 by The Outing Publishing Company and is the rare First Edition with the multi-colored covers. Most collectors deem this particular book her most difficult to find. The book measures 5.75 x 8.25 inches in size and contains 258 pages followed by six pages of advertisements. See photos for contents. This is a fair to good copy and priced accordingly. LIghtly soiled covers with a 1/2-inch light red spot on the rear cover. The bottom front cover corner is worn through and all the other corners are just beginning to rub through. There is also what looks like a tiny ice pick hole near the bottom edge of the front cover. Clean interior with no markings. The front end page is missing and has photo copy laid in (see photos for rear endpapers) and one plate is missing. There is a dark (oil?) 1/2-inch spot on the fore-edge with a bit of bleeding into the margins (seen in photo of page edges). Otherwise, the pages are in very good condition save small edge tear to pages 49, 173, 247. Pages 131, 191, and 227 have some narrow edge chipping to the fore-edge due to poor separation of uncut pages. No creases in any of the pages except a corner crease to page 171. Front hinge is cracked and rear hinge partially cracked, but binding remains tight and square. Not as bad as it may sound, but I like to cover all defects.
