Description
A scarce and appealing 1948 Czech biographical monograph on Jindrich S. Baar, one of the most important literary and cultural figures associated with Chodsko. Written by Jaroslav Zacek and published in Prague by Spolek Psohlavci, this is not just a reading copy. It is an illustrated regional tribute volume with strong collector appeal for buyers interested in Czech literature, Baar material, and the history of Klenčí pod Čerchovem and the Chod region.
This copy is especially desirable because it retains its original hardcover binding and its original dust jacket, which is often missing on books of this type. The jacket shows notable wear and tearing, but it is still present and adds to the originality and display value of the book. The interior includes portrait and documentary photo plates tied to Baar, his family, and places associated with his life.
* Published in 1948, giving it solid postwar historical interest
* An illustrated monograph, not just plain text
* Includes a Baar museum souvenir stamp from Klenčí, a nice period association
* Strong niche appeal in Czech literary history, regional history, and cultural memorial material
* Original hardbound copy with dust jacket present
* Better than a rebound or ex-library copy for collectors seeking originality
A very nice example of a specialized Czech regional and literary item that should stand out to the right buyer. Please view all the photos for condition and detail.
