Detailed Description
A scarce vintage hardcover edition of Burke McCarty’s highly controversial 1922 alternative history text, The Suppressed Truth About the Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.
This specific copy is a unique historical artifact in its own right – a vintage mid-century Taiwanese reprint. Unlike modern digital print-on-demand books, this version features a traditional separate paper dust jacket rather than a modern laminated cover. The book is printed on the thin, high-acid, grayish-yellow paper stock typical of overseas international publishing houses from this era.
The second-to-last page features the classic typewriter-style “Made in Taiwan” export stamp, indicating its production for the niche mid-century international market.
Physical Condition Report
- Dust Jacket: Present. Displays the iconic teal design with the portrait of a young Lincoln. Shows minor shelf wear, edge rubbing, and light vintage aging, with a tiny torn off piece at top at binding, yet still highly presentable.
- Binding: Hardcover boards are firm and straight. The binding remains tight and fully intact.
- Pages/Interior: All pages are completely intact, free of loose sheets, and highly legible. The paper stock shows uniform, authentic age-toning (grayish-yellow hue) and has the thin texture characteristic of this vintage printing run. No writing, highlighting, or stains observed besides what occurs naturally within the paper and acidity.
- Final Leaves: Features one full blank page at the terminal end, with the distinctive typewriter-font “Made in Taiwan” marking stamped on the penultimate page.
