About This Item
Boston: Little, Brown & Co, 1937. Cloth. Very Good/Good +. INSCRIBED BY ARCHITECT RALPH ADAMS CRAM on the front free endpaper. A presentable copy to boot of the January 1937 2nd printing, IN ITS UNCOMMON PICTORIAL DUSTJACKET. Tight and VG (light bumping to the upper tips, an additional very small inscription and one further signature at the front free endpaper) in a bright, Good only example of the very fragile dustjacket, with a degree of chipping and creasing along the panel edges, and 2" of loss at the foot of the spine. Still though, not unattractive -- and uncommon as such, both inscribed by Ralph Adams Cram and including the original dustjacket.
