About This Item
New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1935. 1st Edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Fine/Near Fine. 8vo., 375pp. Beautiful First t Edition of this anthology. Bound in purple cloth with titles in gilt on front board and spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with just a hint of bumping to spine ends. Neat ownership signature on front paste-down. Equally attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.50), has some fairly mild toning to edges and spine. Minor soiling. Still fresh and bright with no creases, chipping or tears. Remarkably well-preserved and quite uncommon in such high-grade condition. Signed by the author on the front end-paper. A simply gorgeous collectable copy and scarce as such.
