Berkeley: University of California Press, 1938. Hardcover. v, 273p., posthumous first issue of these essays by an especially clubbable scholar in a fraternal field: which Homeric question to fail to solve? a new edition is currently available (expanded to 302 pages). In hand we have the true first, hardbound in 9x6 inch ribbed blue cloth boards gilt and plain printed dust jacket, Flaws first, foredge of textblock bears a peculiar splash stain we assume to be coffee, and the dj has a tattered head rim, several small punctures, a mis-folded front flap, and two small verso tape-repairs. But item is clean as a whistle and structurally quite sound; no ownership or institutional marks, the dj despite the described damages is fresh-looking, albeit edgeworn, all in all a very good copy.
