About This Item
Detroit: The Watergate Publishing Company. 1937. First Edition. Hardcover. This copy has been signed in full by the author on the front free endpaper, underneath which he has added "(author's signature)". [There is also a gift inscription on the front paste-down from "From William", but whether or not that William is the author is not clear to me].

About biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
