Description:
Smith & Durrell, N.Y., 1946., 1946. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. First printing. 184 pp., frontis photos, 8vo, yellow cloth, dustjacket. Text shows no wear, no name however the acidic leaves have yellowed with age, particularly along the edges, and the preliminary leaves show some foxing. Dj is price-clipped, has a few short edge-tears and some chipping mostly to the spine-ends, few small stain spots. Uncommon book, hardly ever found in a decent dj like this. VG+/VG-. Nicest copy we've seen.
