About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1913. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first printing. First issue with light yellow-brown vertically ribbed cloth, with the period following "CO" on the spine touching the O. The typographical error "chince-bugs" for "chinch-bugs" is present on page 60, though it is not a point of issue since it persists in all the Houghton Mifflin printings to date as listed in Joan Crane's 1982 Willa Cather bibliography. Very Good, with cloth lightly soiled and spine darkened with stamping rubbed. Lean to binding with text block a little proud. Pages toned. Crane A6a.i.(a).
