About This Item
Dodd, Mead & Co, 1929-01-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Poor. Signed. SIGNED, at a later date, by then Rear Admiral Edward Ellsberg on the half title page. The volume is rubbed and bumped at the spine ends and corners, and there is a 1/8" x 1" stain on the bottom edges. The interior has lightly toned pages, occasional staining, and the front hinge is starting. The corner and price clipped dust jacket, sleeved in mylar, is missing sizeable chunks on the front panel (extending to the spine) and smaller pieces on the top of the rear panel. The book might better be displayed without the jacket.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
