Published by Hutchinson & Co, London; 1924. 12th thousand. Author's own copy, with inscription by author. 8vo. Condition: Near Fine/Near Fine.
This book is the author's own copy of her novel that was later made into a film directed by Michael Cruz in 1925. It has an inscription by her to the ffep, which includes her address, agent's details and a later gift inscription from her. This is an exceptionally rare find, which would be the crowning glory of any modern rare book collection.
The book is in Near Fine condition, bound in original cloth boards with black title to front and spine. The book is in smart condition, with just some fading to the spine, rubbing to the edges and some slight spotting to the covers. Internally the book is in clean condition, apart from some minor toning due to age and occasional staining to foot. There is the occasional annotation from the author throughout the book, but this serves only to add to the books rarity.
The dust jacket, illustrated by the author herself, is also in Near Fine condition, priced at 7/6. Other than some light creasing and 1 or 2 short, closed tears to head and foot, it is a very sharp example and in excellent condition.
In all, this unique book would make the perfect addition to any collection, setting it aside from all others, or would be the ideal gift for any rare book lover.

Frank Dobie said, "Once you start reading Captain Gillett's story of the dog that guarded the Indian-besieged camp in Crow Flat; of the chase of old Victorio, Apache, into Mexico; of the round-up of outlaws in the Junction country; of the desperate ride after Sam Bass; of the Peg Leg robber gang on the San Saba; of the long ride with General Baylor from San Antonio to El Paso, you can not stop until you have finished the story, and then you want to begin the next.

"Louise: here is a peculiar little book which I was suppose (sic) to review but couldn't think of anything to say about -- which is not to say I didn't like it. But it left me baffled. See what you think. It's coming out this month. Behave yourself. Either get rid of the whiskey or the scatter rugs. I know what I'd do. Love, (indecipherable first name signature - could be "Helen")." The front board has a faint rust mark left by a paperclip; otherwise it is an exceptionally clean, tight copy; the dustjacket has the upper corners just touched, mildly sunned spine and a shallow paperclip impression on the front panel upper edge - see scan. The note (which obviously does not refer to the novel)is folded in half with few shallow wrinkles. Near Fine condition in a Very Good dustjacket with an archival cover. Tyler's second…
