The Cars of Lincoln-Mercury, George H. Dammann & James K. Wagner — First Edition

Publication: Sarasota, Florida, Crestline Publishing Co., 1987

Formatting: 4to, pp. 592.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The volume is bound in the publisher's original maroon leatherette, featuring bright, unoxidised gilt lettering and automotive tooling to the front board and spine. The binding remains exceptionally tight, square, and structurally sound, showing no signs of leaning. Board corners are remarkably sharp and unbumped, with only the most trivial hints of shelf-wear to the extreme spine tips. Internally, the text block is bright, crisp, and entirely free from foxing, moisture damage, or prominent blemishes. Issued without a dust jacket, this is a highly presentable, well-preserved copy that easily justifies its grading.

Catalogue Note: First edition of this exhaustive encyclopaedia from the highly regarded Crestline Automotive Series. As is standard for this series, the book was issued without a dust jacket. The volume features 2,400 black-and-white illustrations chronicling the marque.

Given the substantial size and weight of Crestline publications, copies found in the United Kingdom in such sharp, unrubbed condition are increasingly scarce on the open market, as they often suffer from structural sagging or bumped extremities when heavily handled and shipped internationally.

This volume stands as a definitive visual and factual history of the Lincoln-Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company. Dammann and Wagner meticulously chart the evolution of these iconic American automobiles, documenting the styling changes, mechanical advancements, and production figures that defined the luxury marque. Supported by exhaustive photographic evidence and authoritative text, this comprehensive guide is an essential reference for classic car restorers, automotive historians, and enthusiasts of twentieth-century American motoring.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
