In 380 pages with Index, black-and-white photos throughout with glossy photographic frontispiece. Orig. published in 1949, this is the Second Printing (1950) of that FIRST EDITION, & it is SIGNED with a long, personalized inscription to ffep. With navy blue cloth-covered boards stamped & lettered in bright gilt to spine, this hardcover 8vo is in VG+ condition: exceptionally clean, but with foxing to outside page edges, very mild page tanning to interior, but unmarked. Binding strong & straight, hinges intact. The unclipped DJ is VG: colorful with mild tanning, minor edgewear, short tear ascending from heel of spine where it intersects front cover, lesser chipping to other edges & corners; nicely protected in new mylar cover Free (removed for photo).
