Hardcover Book with Dust Jacket

This item is a hardcover book displayed with its dust jacket, resting on a flat, light-colored surface. The photograph captures the interior pages, specifically showing the copyright and publication details page overlaying an adjacent text page. Based strictly on the visual evidence, the text visible on the copyright page includes the copyright symbol with the year '1956 by Rose Macaulay' and a Library of Congress catalog card number '57-5921'. Below this, text states it was 'Manufactured in the United States of America' by 'American Book-Stratford Press, Inc., New York'. Faint reversed offset printing is visible on the page from the dust jacket flaps or opposite pages. The paper shows natural toning and age-related yellowing. The owner-supplied context states this is a copy of 'The Towers of Trebizond with dust jacket', though this specific claim is unverified by physical inspection. Hedged language is used in the item name because an image alone cannot prove the physical integrity, completeness, or true provenance of the book, and all visible text serves only as evidence consistent with the printed details rather than absolute proof of authenticity.

Based on the provided image, I can observe a copyright and publication details page showing text consistent with a 1956 publication by Rose Macaulay, along with a Library of Congress catalog card number. Per user submission, this is identified as a copy of 'The Towers of Trebizond' with a dust jacket. However, I must emphasize that I cannot verify the physical integrity, completeness, exact edition state, or true provenance of the book from a photograph alone; physical inspection is required to confirm these factors. Assuming the user's attribution is correct and the book and dust jacket are in the stated condition with typical age-related toning, similar mid-century hardcovers generally trade within the $50 to $150 range depending on the specific condition of the dust jacket and overall preservation. Demand for mid-century literature varies based on collector interest in the specific author and title. If this item were to turn out to be a later reprint, a facsimile, or lacking its original dust jacket, the market value would likely decrease significantly, dropping to the $10 to $25 range typical of reading copies. To establish a more precise valuation and confirm authenticity, an in-person examination by a rare book specialist or specialist dealer would be necessary to assess paper quality, binding integrity, and dust jacket state.
