Boston, MA: Little, Brown, and Company, 1948. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket and inscribed and signed by the author on the front end page. The original price of $3.50 is still present on the front flap. DJ shows scuffing and soiling along with edge wear and tear. The reason for the low condition grade is because the underside of the jacket was neatly reinforced by three strips of masking tape. Over the decades the tape is become dry and brittle and the glue has darkened the outside of the jacket. Baby blue-gray cloth boards underneath are not affected by the tape and are clean. The only issues being there is fading along the edges and some light scuffing. The interior binding is good, no hinge issues. There is also small pen scribble on the jacket's front flap. No other handwriting or signatures noted. No bookplates, no library markings, no remainder marks etc. Stated first…
