About This Item
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1928. 1st edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. VG. 8vo, xii+252pp, grey cloth with spine label, no dustwrapper. The stated first edition of this rare and essential 1928 collection of writings by one of the greatest of American essayists (including works published in Harper's and The American Mercury). No interior markings noted (aside from penciled minor marks to decorative front endpapers); binding has a bit of soil and wear and is a presumed second state (first state, as noted in colophon, was a linoleum block print design by Prentiss Taylor). Highly recommended.

Payment in full by Visa/MC, cash, check, money order, or Amex/Discover (processed by Biblio) with order.

Postage is extra: orders through Biblio are charged at their prevailing rates; otherwise, postage cost will be quoted upon request (optional insurance is extra at cost). All items are graded conservatively using consistent standards: generally speaking, 'Fine' is the best condition class, followed by 'Very Good', 'Good', 'Fair', and 'Poor' (these can be considered as analogous to letter grades A, B, C, D, F: the latter two classes are rarely offered). Please inquire if you have any questions about the condition of an item listed. Any purchase may be returned for refund if deemed unsatisfactory upon receipt. I will be glad to ship with invoice to academic institutions in advance of payment if a purchase order is provided. Dealers may inquire for reciprocal trade discount.
