Description:
New York: Vanguard Press, 1934. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in an about near fine dustwrapper, lightly worn, with the spine sunned and the spinal extremities reinforced. Curiously, on the front flap the publisher has warned: "We caution collectors of first editions not to overlook this title," which considering the scarcity of this title, they apparently did. A nice copy of an uncommon book.
