About This Item
New York: William Morrow. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1946. Hardcover in jacket. Bound in black cloth with teal stamping on the spine, in a dust jacket with toning, light soiling, edge-wear, and light chipping to the corners and spine-ends. The covers show light rubbing to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. From the American First Editions collection of Donald C. Scriven (1948-2019). Don relished points of issue and the primacy of the dust jacket but above all he loved the literature! .
