About This Item
New York: Book League of America, 1938. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Reprint. This Book League of America edition was published in the same year as the 1st Edition. This copy is over 80 years old, has been well taken care of and is in fine, unread condition. Its construction is unlike most of the poorly made book club editions. The cloth covered boards and matching top stain and impressed image on front cover add up to a handsome edition possibly as desirable and rare as the first edition. The text block is solid, clean and square. Endpapers are clear of markings with NO previous owner's signature. Covers slightly smudged. Spine tight, boards rigid and tips pointed. There is no book club deboss on the rear cover. The jacket is in fine condition with bold colors on the cover. It looks spectacular in its shiny new plastic cover. Book League Selection ephemera forAugust, 1938 enclosed. .
