Post Stories of 1940: Compiled from The Saturday Evening Post

This is a hardcover anthology titled 'Post Stories of 1940', published in 1941 by Little, Brown and Company in Boston. The book features a vibrant blue cloth-bound cover with gilded (gold-stamped) lettering across the top. Centered on the front board is a circular gold embossed medallion depicting the profile of Benjamin Franklin, a nod to the historical connection with the Saturday Evening Post. The book is an octavo-size volume approximately 8 to 9 inches in height. The binding appears tight with some light softening at the corners and head/tail of the spine. Notable condition issues include a modern purple circular sticker adhered to the lower-left front cover, which detracts from the original aesthetic and may leave adhesive residue. The cloth shows light shelf wear and a slight patina consistent with an 80-year-old volume. The gilt remains bright and legible. This collection serves as a cultural artifact of the Golden Age of American short fiction, featuring notable authors of the era who contributed to one of the most popular weekly magazines of the 20th century.
