Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc., 1932. 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Maurice Berty. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, still has the publishers review copy slip tipped in at the front end page. Blue cloth boards are clean on the front but the back shows rust colored spotting which may actually be just rust since it catches your fingernail when you scratch it. The spine shows fading which is also present on the edges of the rear board. Edges and corners show bumps. The internal binding is good and text pages are tight and square. This book would actually grade as near fine or better but the rest marks on the backboard is why it the only grades as VG. There are no signatures or personal bookplates, no handwriting, no library markings, nothing torn or loose. Pages are toned but crisp like the book was never used. The copyright page states second printing.
