About This Item
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell. Full-Leather. Used; Acceptable. Large chunks of suede boards are missing, including nearly the whole spine and two or three square inches of the front. Several leaves have been pressed into this book, some of them still present, and the browned imprint has been left behind. Previous owner inscription. Still a fascinating item and a great buy.
