About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, ( 1932 ). Secod Canadian Edition (?). Hardcover. fair. 12mo, 199 pages, blue cloth, hinges cracking, heel of spine scraped.
This is the Canadian issue of a later printing of the 1929 first American edition by Harcourt, Brace Co. It is surprisingly scarce. However, the first Canadian edition appears to match the pagination of the first trade edition from The Hogarth Press, i.e. 172 pages. This printing has the 199 + 3 blank pages of the Harcourt edition (it had 13 reprints between November, 1929 and 1953). Note: the bibliographer, Kirkpatrick [see A12 ], did not cite a Canadian edition until the revised bibliography.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
