About This Item
New York: Scribner Book Store unpag., 388 items. Circa 1938 or 1939. Wrappers are bright, but much chipping where they extend beyond the text block, else the text is bright and unmarked. Overall a dramatic effect, faults not yet overwhelming the startling design. Interesting, relatively long descriptions of classic books from a legendary book store.. Wraps. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
