Halls Auto Mobile Accident Cases Second Edition Appraisal

Hall's Auto-Mobile Accident Cases, Second Edition by C. H. Morawetz

The item is a hardcover legal textbook titled "HALL'S AUTO-MOBILE ACCIDENT CASES," as prominently displayed in gold lettering on its spine. It is further identified as a "SECOND EDITION" and attributed "BY C. H. MORAWETZ." The book's binding appears to be made of a dark, likely green or black, textured material, possibly leather or a durable cloth, with a slight sheen visible under direct light. The gold lettering on the spine is clear and well-preserved, indicating minimal wear to the title and author details. The spine itself shows a slight curvature consistent with a well-bound book. The visible edge of the book's pages, when closed, appears to be a light cream or off-white color, with some subtle discoloration or foxing visible on the right edge, suggesting natural aging. The adjoining surface to the left of the book, which appears to be part of the book's cover or an endpaper, is a lighter, unmarked cream color. The upper left corner shows a hint of a darker, possibly red, material, which could be part of the book's top edge or an adjacent object. The book's condition is described as "excellent," which is supported by the crispness of the spine lettering and the apparent integrity of the binding. There are no obvious tears, significant scuffs, or major creases visible on the spine. The craftsmanship suggests a professional binding, typical of legal or academic publications. Given the subject matter and the 'second edition' designation, this volume likely dates from the early to mid-20th century, a period when automobile law was rapidly developing and requiring comprehensive case compilations.
