About This Item
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1930. First Edition. First printing Very good+ in blue cloth covered boards with gilt text on the spine and on the front board. There is mild offsetting on the first free end paper from a newspaper clipping having been laid-in and the ghost of a prior owner's name. In a good unclipped dust jacket with 1/3" deep chipping at the upper and lower edges of the spine area and considerable rubbing and tearing at the folds to the flaps with tape and glue stains on its verso side. Despite the flaws noted the bulk of the jacket remains making this a rather attractive and collectable copy. 333 pages of text.
