Carl Crow – America and the Philippines

While I was working on my Carl Crow biography (A Tough Old China Hand) I searched high and low for a copy of Carl’s first book – America and the Philippines – published in 1914. I was never able to find a copy except in various libraries. It seems to be extremely hard to find and a long, long time out of print. Until now when a company called Bibliolife has brought it back. Bibliolife seems to have thousand of titles ready to print and they don’t work out too expensive. So I ordered me a copy (US$23.99) and it arrived today. It’s not bad, pretty basic but with the original pictures and typeface. As I couldn’t get this anywhere secondhand I’m just glad to have a copy at last. Time to see what they’ve got that might be interesting. Apologies for promopting my own book but the original edition of Crow’s America and the Philippines didn’t have any cover design.
