About This Item
New York: Modern Library, 1939. 1939 Printing. Hardcover. Good. Duodecimo. 4.5 x 6.75 in. ix, 296 pp. Good in original navy cloth, with a loose front hinge, minor rubbing on the bottom edges, and previous owners' notations on the front free end paper, and a poor dust jacket that has heavy chipping on the corners and spine. The interior jacket advertises "265" titles available from the Modern Library. A previous owner has tried to reinforce the top and bottom of the jacket's spine by applying scotch tape. This book also features a single stamp on the back end paper indicating it was "Withdrawn J.P. Library." However, no other library markings are present.
