About This Item
New York: Farrar & Rinehart, (1942). First Edition. First printing Very good although an ex-library copy which has been rebound in red cloth covered boards with a gilt call number at the base of the spine Lacking the issued dust jacket. The book also shows the typical cancelation marks and library stamps on the edges of the text block. Although part of the Rivers of America series, this book is considerably larger (12 1/4" tall) than the format for the others in the series. It is also the most difficult to locate.
