Six-volume set of The Sacco-Vanzetti Case, “Transcript of the Record of the Trial of Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti in the Courts of Massachusetts and Subsequent Proceedings, 1920–7,” each 7 x 10, hardcover bound uniformly in tan cloth with gilt-stamped spines, published by Henry Holt & Company, New York, 1928–1929. The first five volumes reproduce the extensive record of the Sacco and Vanzetti proceedings, continuously paginated through 5,621 pages: Volume I, pp. 1–1092; Volume II, pp. 1093–2266, with index to the stenographic minutes; Volume III, pp. 2267–3478; Volume IV, pp. 3479–4359, with index to proceedings on first appeal; and Volume V, pp. 4360–5621, with general index. The sixth, separately paginated supplemental volume, “Including Bridgewater Case Available Material,” contains the stenographic minutes of Vanzetti’s preliminary hearings and Plymouth trial for the Bridgewater crime, Pinkerton reports on the Bridgewater hold-up, and minutes of the inquest into the deaths of Parmenter and Berardelli, followed by an index. All six volumes bear stamps of the Albert Emanuel Library at the University of Dayton. In overall very good to fine condition, with scattered wear to the covers, including staining, fading, rubbing, and edgewear; partial separation to the upper hinge of the Volume I title page; and scattered wear to the interior pages, primarily at the beginnings of the volumes.

Originates from The President's Box Bookshop, a Washington, D.C.-based specialty mail-order and antiquarian book dealer operated by proprietor David Lovett.
