About This Item
Heath Cranton, 1921. Book. Fair/Good. Hardcover. First Edition First Printing. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Remains of old label to head of front board & obvious removal of old label to head of front endpaper - both leading us to believe this title belonged to an old lending library - no other library marks. Wear to extremities with scuffing to boards & spine & a couple of tiny frays to spine tips. Internally old pencil name & crayon monogram to endpaper. A number of light handling marks within text. A line and a half of written text in ink to rear endpaper & small mark to foot of rear endpaper - not affecting text leaves. A very good reading working copy of a SCARCE title..
