About This Item
New York: Dodd, Mead & Co, 1912. 1st. Decorative Cloth. Collectible; Very Good/Very Good. The 1912 1st edition, in the uncommon pictorial dustjacket. Solid and VG, in its lavishly gilt-decorated front panel and spine. Light foxing to the endapers, tender (but still perfectly sturdy) inner hinges. In a bright, VG dustjacket, with light chipping to the spine ends and the tips and light wear along the flap folds. Still though, a very presentable copy. Thick 12mo, 646 pgs., nicely illustrated in color and black-and-white by M.V. Wheelhouse.
