About This Item
Appleton, 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Green cloth with gilt stamped lettering. The volume is lightly bumped on the spine ends, has a tiny snag to the cloth on the top front edge, and the spine lettering is a shade less intense than that of the front panel. The endpapers and immediate adjacent leaves have light foxing, there is a 1927 Christmas inscription on the front endpaper, and the penultimate leaf is chipped on the fore-edge. Even with faults, this is an attractive very good copy.

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.
