About This Item
xii+337 pages with index. Royal octavo (9 1/4" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's brown cloth with dark brown lettering to spine and cover. Introduction by Carl Van Doran. First edition.
It's less a bibliography than brief history and many of the authors now seem less than important but Fullerton's evaluations are generally fair and extremely readable. Genuine Americana.
Condition: Corners lightly rubbed, some damp rippling to front few pages, offset darkening to paste downs else very good.
