By J. Vreeland Haring. “The Handwriting Expert Tells The Story of the Lindbergh Case.” Not THE handwriting expert in Hauptmann’s trial (that was Osborn), but Haring delves into not only the ransom-note evidence against Hauptmann, but other evidentiary testimony, and theories of the crime.
This 1937 hardcover is quite well preserved: the jacket is a bit worn, with fading to the spine, but has a wrap keeping it safe. Some foxing/spotting to the page edges and flyleaves, and some “vagueness” to the hinges inside, but the pages are snug and clean; no dog-ears or writing that I could find. Book sits straight; the back cover alone is worth the price of admission. A fabulous Depression-era pickup.
