New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 1915 FIRST PRINTING of First USA Edition (printed with the first UK sheets = nearly identical to the first UK printing with same binding covers).

Overall a better than average condition example of this book that usually suffers condition problems, especially to the title patches and page foxing. This example has clean covers, no previous owner marks or writing on any pages, darkening to spine, some scuffing to leather spine patches but no loss (they frequently chip), solid binding, particularly uncommon being without foxing on pages or plates.
