About This Item
London: Brentano's Ltd., 1924. Hardcover. VG-/Poor. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover with dust jacket, limited edition of 1000 copies of which this is number 878. The original price of 7/6 is still present on the front flap. DJ is in pretty rough shape and had to be placed in a protective sleeve because it is in three pieces. Jacket spine is darkened and missing large chunks and the front flap is also detached but present. Dark gray cloth boards underneath show some spotting in the bottom edge of the front board has a edge bump. The internal binding is good, no hinge issues other than a slight separation at page 80/81 where the book was opened too far. Paper is toned due to age and there is some light scattered spotting though this is mainly limited to the end pages and pastedowns. There are two bookplates present though one is detached. The first is of the Princeton gentlemen James McCarthy Hadley in this bookplate appears to have been tipped in on the front pastedown. The second bookplate is on the back of the front and page and bears the name Craig M Fitzpatrick. No other markings found in the book. The numbering of the limited edition was either numbered in error or renumbered as there is a ghost of numbers showing underneath the 878 in the picture. No copyright date listed but the illustrations on the pastedowns show the date of 1924.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
