Yes, it's my copy of The Plated City. I don't think the book is that rare, but I imagine many copies lie in the dusty shelves of booksellers who haven't yet listed their copies on-line. It's baseball motif on the cover is understated, so perhaps that's the reason.
I know of a few collectors who have a copy.
As for the illustration in The Fairport Nine, I believe it is in later editions, although I'll have to check to confirm. There were at least a few editions published, including one renamed as The Boys of Fairport.
