About This Item
Farrar & Rinehart, 1942. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. FR symbol at the bottom of the cr page. Moderate shelf wear to the binding, p.o. inscription on the ffep. The dustjacket is not price-clipped, light rubbing at the corners with one spot of loss, light rubbing to the spine ends. For some reason a p.o. has wrapped the whole thing in a separate facsimile dustjacket.
