About This Item
Hardcover with dust jacket, published by Grosset & Dunlap. Originally published in 1931 by William Penn & Company, this is a reprint edition. Loring titles from 1922 to 1937 were first published by William Penn, and later reprinted by Grosset starting in 1961. So even though the only date listed is 1931, this is most likely one of the later reprint editions since it is a Grosset & Dunlap copy. Grosset & Dunlap would often reprint titles without changing the copyright date information. A first printing of this edition. The story of Pamela Leigh, staying with her invalid father on Cape Cod, and how she meets Scott Mallory, a young lawyer, will long term romance ensue? This is not a library discard, not a remainder. Former owner's name written in pencil on the first flyleaf and dated 1966 in blue pen ink. Jacket has a 1/4" deep chips at the head of the spine, small chip marks to the heel of the spine too. Diagonal 1/4" chip at the top right corner. It has been protected with a clear cover though. There is a crack in the gutter at the spine on the title page, about 3 inches long, though the binding is still tight and square. Edges of the text block are clean. No further writing besides the name on the flyleaf. Blue colored boards with the author name and title imprinted on the spine and front board in red. Boards are flat, very little edge wear, very slight inward bumping to the tips of the corners. The attached photo is of the copy we have in our inventory. Red colored top-stain does not appear to be faded. We have several Loring titles listed.
