About This Item
NY: Cosmopolitan, 1924 Near Fine in Red cloth with gilt titles. This is the First printing of the First Edition by Cosmopolitan Book Co. with the date on the title page matching the copyright and this title NOT listed on the novels page (verso of the 1/2 title.) NOTE: We have recently purchased a large collection of Modern First Editions (like this title) by various authors from the 20's & 30's from a local estate here in Northern New Hampshire. They include scarce and collectable pieces by; L. M. Montgomery, D. E. Stevenson, A. P. Terhune, Dora Aydelotte, R. Ross Annett, Sara Ware Bassett, ames B. Connolly, and several others. Most of these are in Near Fine condition with dust wrappers and host the former owners bookplate on the verso (inside) of the front cover. These paper plates measure 1-3/4"x2-3/4" and features a photo of a Garden Gate with the words 'My Book' on top and the owners name (Jennie P. Dow) on the bottom, quite a nice touch. You may view a scan of the bookplate on my website:
