About This Item
Seattle: University Book Store, 1934. First Edition. Stiff printed wraps. Good+. 8vo. Pp. 47. The author was assisted in research by Ethel Austin Grant. Foreword by Glenn Hughes. Illustrated with good block prints by Grant. Bibliography. Index. Bound in yellow printed wraps; yapped edges. Chipping around edges.Previous owner name and date in ink on FFEP. Light pencil marginalia, correcting and amending text. Edges chipped. In most instances the presence of marginalia is unwelcome, at best. Here, though, the writer of marginalia is not just informed, but appears to possess an authority greater than the author's. Presumably that's Theoda Coolidge, who wrote her name on the front free endpaper. She was married to Leigh Coolidge, famed naval architect and yacht designer, and was herself a pioneer by birth, having been born in Washington State in 1870. The block prints are quite striking. Increasingly scarce. SMITH, 3740; SOLIDAY I: 1448.
