Item Description:
Up for sale is an incredible, time-capsule piece of World War II home-front history. This is a pristine, MINT condition copy of \"The Words of Jesus,\" arranged and chronicled by Gilbert James Brett, and published by the John A. Dickson Publishing Company (circa 1941-1943).
Illustrated by Albert H. Winkler
This pocket-sized volume uses the beautiful King James Version (KJV) text and features a stunning illuminated section on the Sermon on the Mount, topical indexes for everyday life problems, and 8 vibrant, full-color art plates.
What Makes This Set Special:
• True Mint Condition: The black textured leatherette binding is crisp, rigid, and completely free of the typical flaking, dry-rotting, or spine cracking common with these volumes. The gold-leaf lettering on the cover and spine remains bright and untarnished.
• Original Presentation Box: It is incredibly rare to find these pocket editions with their original cardboard protective boxes intact. The box has beautifully preserved the book from light, dust, and handling for over 80 years. The box shows wear so please see all photos 📸
• WWII Patriotic Insert: Tucked inside the box is a vintage American Flag handkerchief. These books were widely distributed to servicemen heading overseas or kept on home-front altars during the war, making this a complete, untouched wartime package.
• Clean Pages: The interior pages are clean, bright, and free of any highlighted text, tears, or dog-ears. The \"Presented To\" page is completely unmarked.
Condition Details:
• Book: Mint / Like New. Binding is perfectly tight. Gold gilt is bright.
