Clearly showing some wear and tear, the first section of this dictionary looks like it has been removed (see pictures showing first in-tact pages from inside front). I have not found the publication date on this dictionary but the US Presidents only go as far as FDR, so guessing it is from war time. Fun decoration, conversation piece or gift for the bibliophile in your life. Measures about 11.25" x 8.5" x 5.25"
