Riguardo questo articolo

"Very-good" book (third in the series, copyright 1910) in a good dust jacket with large chips to sun-browned spine. This book lists 27 Tom Swift titles (through "His Great Oil Gusher") both to jacket front flap and to ad pages at rear -- and also seven "Radio Boys" to rear flap, through "With the Iceberg Patrol" (1924.) Copyright page lists only the "starter set" of five Tom Swifts, but that was obviously retained for many years. Jacket rear panel also lists eight "Railroad" titles through "Ralph and the Missing Mail Pouch" (also 1924), which should be enough to clinch a date of issue. (You can of course always buy from some seller who lists every copy of this title by the copyright date "1910," if you prefer.) Howard R. Garis (1873-1962), of Uncle Wiggily fame and here writing under the Appleton house name of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, retains for comic relief here the unforgettable (and far from "politically correct") Eradicate Sampson and his stubborn mule, Boomerang. 216 pp. followed by 5 pp. publisher's ads, also including an advertisement for 15 installments of the "Moving Picture Boys." Reduced from $102.
