Goodbye, Summer by Allis McKay, 1953 Edition

This is a 1953 edition of the novel 'Goodbye, Summer' written by Allis McKay and published by The Macmillan Company in New York. The image shows the title page and the preceding 'By the Same Author' page. The paper displays a consistent cream or light ivory hue, indicative of slight natural aging but without significant foxing or brown spotting. The internal text is printed in a clean, mid-century serif font with decorative chain-like borders flanking the title. The binding appears to be a blue cloth or paper-covered hardcover, visible along the lower edge of the spine. The condition appears to be good to very good; the pages are crisp with sharp corners, and the gutter shows a tight, original binding with no visible cracking or detached leaves. There are no immediate signs of moisture damage, inscriptions, or library stamps on the visible pages. The typography and layout are characteristic of Macmillan's high-quality trade editions from the early 1950s, featuring balanced margins and professional typesetting. The preceding page lists McKay’s other works: 'Woman About Town' and 'They Came to a River', establishing this as a later work by an established mid-20th-century author.
