About This Item
New York: Transatlantic Arts, 1948. First U.S. Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Slim 12mo., 90pp. Sharp Stated First American Edition, bound in tan cloth with titles in green on spine and in Chinese characters in green on front board. Published by Methuen in the UK. Square, tight and clean throughout with a touch of wear and toning to spine ends.. Very attractive clipped Methuen dust-jacket has some chipping to the spine ends. A few tears to tears that are repaired with small pieces of tapes on the reveres. Looks a lot better than it sounds and is still bright and complete. A solid collectable copy of a surprisingly scarce Edition; much more scarce than the British Edition.
