Two hardcover books: 'The Second Tree from the Corner' by E.B. White, published by Harper & Brothers, and 'The Best of S.J. Perelman' from the Modern Library, published by Random House. Both feature cloth bindings with gilt lettering and publisher's marks on the spine. No dust jackets are present.
The books show age-typical wear to the edges and corners, with mild discoloration and some toning on the pages. No writing or major damage observed. See photos for measurements, if taken. These titles represent notable essay and humor writing from mid-20th-century American authors.
