About This Item
New York City: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1927. 1st edition. Hardcover. black-and-white frontispiece. pp. 300. 8vo. Bound in original dark blue cloth with white title labels. The white labels to the front board and spine, so often seen pulled, scraped, or soiled, are both in near-perfect condition. There is just the slightest spot of scuffing to the boards; else the book is clean, tight, and in near fine condition. The original dust jacket is not price-clipped. It is a bit chipped across the edges and at the tips of the folds, and shows some light scuffing and soiling; else in good plus, to very good, condition. An exceptional copy.
