OUTSTANDING TWO-BOOK COLLECTION SPANNING AMERICAN RELIGIOUS AND ENTERTAINMENT HISTORY—OFFERED TOGETHER AS ONE LOT!
BOOK 1 — THE LIFE AND WORK OF DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY
Antique 1900 illustrated hardcover biography by Rev. J. Wilbur Chapman, documenting the life, ministry and worldwide influence of legendary American evangelist D. L. Moody.
Features an ornate floral cover with an inset portrait of Moody, period photographs and extensive biographical material. The signature beneath the preface appears to be a printed facsimile, not an original autograph.
BOOK 2 — THE STORY OF BING CROSBY
Vintage 1946 hardcover edition by Ted Crosby, featuring a foreword by legendary entertainer Bob Hope and the original illustrated Bing Crosby dust jacket.
The book contains an historic ownership stamp from:
American Lending Library, Inc.

A fascinating survivor connected to mid-century entertainment history and Dallas’s former commercial lending-library era.
CONDITION
Both books are offered in aged, well-used condition. Expect fading, stains, page toning, edge wear, loose or weakened binding areas, tears and other imperfections. The Bing Crosby dust jacket has substantial wear and losses. Please examine all photographs carefully—the condition is part of these books’ long history.
