Description:
New York: Augustin, 1938. Very Good in tan cloth. No dustjacket. Quarto. 40 pages of text plus 28 full-page, full-color plates by Edwin Earle. Externally, there are a few small soil-marks, particularly on the rear board. The tips and spine-ends have light rubbing wear. As is common with this title, there is a bit of darkening around the perimeters of the pastedowns; this is due, it would seem, to the glue used in production. The pages of the text are slightly yellowed, though the plates -- on a superior, gloss-coated stock -- are quite bright. All pages are clean; no previous ownership markings. The binding is sound and square with all pages and plates intact. This is an association copy, SIGNED and dedicated by the author to Harry Hoijer, an esteemed professor and anthropologist working in the West and Southwest. Overall, a nice copy of a scarce book. "...The dances of the Pueblo Indians have attracted visitors from all parts of the world. These dances are the most elaborate and colorful…
