About This Item
New York: Random House, 1931. First edition. ONE OF 50 SIGNED COPIES DESIGNATED FOR REVIEW, issued in addition to and, one would assume, prior to the 500 copies in the regular signed/limited issue (Broomfield A14[1]). Publisher's review slip laid in with projected publication date December 7, 1931. SIGNED BY JEFFERS on limitation page with "Review" written in black ink (in place of a number). Quarto cinnamon Tokugawa paper over flexible boards with vellum spine lettered in black. Broomfield doesn't call for a slipcase on copies sent for review but there is one present with this copy, though it's too tight as well as slightly shorter than usually seen and is subsequently split at the top. The book is near fine with only mild aging to spine; the slipcase is split at top, as noted, but otherwise near fine.
