Bradford and Greenberg's CANADIAN BANKRUPTCY ACT (Annotated) - Third Edition

The item is a vintage legal textbook titled "Bradford and Greenberg's CANADIAN BANKRUPTCY ACT (Annotated)", specifically the Third Edition. It is a printed book, likely bound with a hard cover, though only the title page is fully visible. The page itself is a light off-white or cream color, with black sans-serif and serif typefaces used for the text. Key information visible on the title page includes the full title, subtitle (Annotated), and a clarifying statement: "Containing references to all relevant decisions rendered by the Courts throughout Canada." Below this, it is identified as the "Third Edition". The author is listed as "CARL H. MORAWETZ, LL.M., D.Jur., Barrister-at-law, P.E.I.". A foreword by "HIS HONOUR ROBERT FORSYTH, Senior Judge, County of York" is also noted. The publication details reveal that it was published in "TORONTO 1951" by "BURROUGHS & CO. [EASTERN] LIMITED, TORONTO, ONTARIO" and "BURROUGHS & CO. LIMITED, CALGARY, ALBERTA". The page shows signs of age, with a slight discoloration consistent with older paper and what appears to be part of a binding or spine visible on the far left edge, indicating it is an intact book. There are no obvious tears, significant creases, or heavy staining visible on this specific page, suggesting a generally good state of preservation for its age. The print quality appears crisp, and the layout is professional and clear, indicative of standard publishing practices for academic or legal texts of that era. The visible edge of the book on the left suggests a possibly tanned or discolored spine/cover edge typical of books that have been stored for decades.
