About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928. First Edition Later Printing . Hardcover. Very Good. The sine qua non of astrology handbooks by the godmother of astrology, who ran a wildly popular astrological consulting business in New York City around the turn of the 20th century. This was her first astrology book, orig. published in Jan 1928 (copyright 1927); we are offering a 10th printing from Oct. 1933. It is in solidly VG condition: blue cloth-covered boards with elaborate gilt design to front & lettering to spine is extremely clean, binding tight & square. Pages lightly but evenly tanned & completely unmarked. Moderate rubbing to extremities, heavy at both ends of spine & all corners. Gilt is fading on front & nearly completely faded away on spine. No DJ. All in all, a quite handsome copy of a classic in its field! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping if ordered by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next day.
