About This Item
London: Peter Davies Limited. 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. First edition. Semi-fictional account. Tan/beige cloth with gold gilt spine lettering/rules, top edge stained greenish as issued, 176 pages, illustrated, notes, index. Ex-library copy [with the usual flaws, but also with tight clean text and illustrations] in Dust Wrapper [which has some flaws what look like a couple of tiny holes and short scratches to one corner of the front panel, and some dust soiling and two check marks to the rear panel---but is still within an old style Dust Wrapper protector. The Dust Wrapper could be removed from the protector and used to upgrade another copy without one]. [A common title, but not so in the first edition, and especially not so in the first edition Dust Wrapper] .

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
