About This Item
New York: Greenberg, 1952. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo., 246pp. Beautiful First Edition of the Author's first book. Bound in yellow cloth with titles in red on spine. Square, tight and clean throughout save a touch of off-setting to the front paste-down but no toning or foxing. A hint of a bump at the crown but barely. Very well-preserved. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.75), has some chipping to edges and mild wear to edges and tips. Light soiling on rear panel. Still fresh and bright. A very pretty collectable copy at a great price.
