Description:
New York: The Literary Guild, 1928. Book. Illus. by Blaine, Mahlon. Good. Hardcover. First. Black spine with tan sticker, black print, sticker is partly disintegrated. Purpose of sticker is to identify the book, probably put on by publisher. There is a name and number in ink on the front inside cover. There is a tear in the paper about two inches where the FEP joins the front inside cover. There is light yellowing on the pages and a place where the title page was too tight with the page before it. One page had been folded under. The outside cover is rubbed at the bottom edges, and top edge of the spine, the cover shows wear..

Description:
New York: Blue Ribbon Books, 1930. Octavo, black cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, uncut, top edge red, illustrated endpapers, 207 pp + ads. Near Fine. From Foreword: This is the life of a man. I have added nothing to the sparse records of old books and the fading memories that linger in the minds of men in his own country. Nor have I left anything out, except a few foolish, though extraordinarily common, legends that I found had no historical basis whatever. Christophe, as is often the ill-fotune of great men, has been remembered by his enemies and the cruel and silly tales they told of him. This is not a “work of reference,” but I have appended a selected bibliography.
