Stated Limited Edition page following pg. 128; no. 641 of 2387 copies; c. 1934, same year on title page. Tan slipcase w/ paste-on title on spine shows only light rubbing & edge wear, label intact & has inked copy no. No cracks, separation or fray. Original glassine book protector shows some wrinkle & 2 x 3"" corner chip at top right front panel. Cream board binding excellent - tight, bright, clean & square. Gilt spine title & stamped cover decoration unmarred. Attractive old contemporaneous pictorial owner bookplate inside front cover - to me, kind of adds to copy's appeal.

Synopsis
