About This Item
Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 1928. Cloth. Near Fine. INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR BENJAMIN DEAN MERITT on the first blank endpaper. A very solid copy to boot of the 1928 1st edition. Clean and Near Fine in its navy-blue cloth, with bright gilt-titling along the front panel and spine. Mild bumping to the lower tips and at the foot of the spine, otherwise very sharp. Clean as well internally, with no writing (other than the author inscription) or other marks to speak of. Tall quarto, a handful of crisp black-and-white plates complementing Benjamin Meritt's text. 2 fold-out plates tucked into a sleeve at the rear pastedown as well.
