Economics: A General Textbook for Students by Frederic Benham (Third Edition)

This item is a copy of "Economics: A General Textbook for Students" by Frederic Benham, identified here as the Third Edition. The visible page is the title page of the book. The book appears to be in good condition, with the paper exhibiting a creamy, off-white hue, suggesting age-related toning characteristic of older texts. There are no major tears, creases, or significant staining visible on this page. The text is printed clearly in black ink, featuring a classic serif font for the title and author details. Below the author's name, there is a small, subtle indentation or mark, possibly from pressure or handling, but it does not appear to be a serious flaw. The bottom section of the page indicates publication by "Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons (Canada), Ltd." based in Toronto, a well-known publishing house. A distinctive circular publisher's logo, featuring interlocking stylized letters (possibly "IPS" for Isaac Pitman & Sons), is centered above the publisher's details, indicating good quality and professional production. The book's binding edge on the left shows some faint irregularities, typical of a well-read or older volume, but the page itself lays relatively flat. The overall presentation suggests a durable and functional textbook from the mid-20th century, consistent with its likely use as an educational resource.
