What makes this even more special than its NRMT condition is that it is a NRMT first edition printing of the first hardcover edition solely devoted to the poem "Casey at the Bat." Printed in 1912 in Chicago, this edition was illustrated in orange and black by Dan Sayre Groesbeck. It is a perfect, uncorrupted version of the great story and features a textured green board cover with the plastic sleeve still in place and unmarred. What a treasure!
