Short closed tear on the front panel with the a ghost of a piece of tape where it was removed. Still fresh and bright. Inscribed, dated and signed by the author on the half-title page, "December 2, 1941. To Aquilla B. Hanson Jr., with best wishes and sincere thanks for the generous things you have said about this book. Howard fast". Also, laid in is a typed letter to the same reader signed by Fast, on his letterhead and with the original mailing envelope, where he tells the read that he will sign books for him if he sends them. A sharp collectable copy and very uncommon to find signed and especially with the signed letter.
