Spine of the 1943 publication of Spoken Spanish by Charles Kany
This 1943 hardcover version of Spoken Spanish is a little under 6 3/4 inches tall by a little over 4 3/4 inches wide, with the cover being green with dark brown lettering and a dark brown picture on the front.
The cover of Spoken Spanish is in very, very good condition with the only blemish (that I can find) being a 3/4 of an inch tall by 1/8 of an inch wide stain at the lower front corner of the spine.
There is a pencil mark on the outside of the pages, which can be seen when the book is closed and your looking at the pages opposite the spine.
On the inside of Spoken Spanish, I have found absolutely NO marks, rips, tears, stains or any sort post publishing marks on any of the pages! It almost appears as if the book was taken home, put on a shelf, and never picked up again.
If you should have any questions or comments please post them below and I’ll answer them as soon as is possible. If you would rather send a private message, please use the contact form on the “about us” page.
