About This Item
New York: E.P. Dutton & Company, 1924. First edition. Hardcover, 325 pages. A 'Lost Race' adventure novel set in Central Asia. A Good+ copy in original brown boards, which are quite dull and rubbed, with a few small faded spots on the rear board. Internally the hinges are tight and the binding firm. No inscription or book-plate. Not really in collectable condition but a sound, clean reading copy of a most elusive book..
