About This Item
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page & Co, 1926. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Good. 8vo., 273pp. Beautiful Stated First Edition. Bound in 1/4 black cloth over brown paper covered boards. Titles in black upon orange paper labels on front board and spine. A perfect example of a dust-jacket doing its job as this is square, tight and clean throughout with a hint of wear at one tip and spine ends mildly pushed. Just about as fresh at when it sat on the bookseller's shelf almost 100 years ago. The jacket on the other hand.... It is 100% complete and unclipped, ($2.50), though it has internal splits along the flap folds. Mild chipping to spine ends and tape reinforcement at the top and bottom of each fold point. A very pretty collectable copy.
