About This Item
Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co., 1933. First American edition. Hardcover. Very Good +/very good. 5 x 7 1/2 in. Yellow cloth boards with blue titles. 320 pp. Blue endpapers. Condition is VERY GOOD+ ; no edge wear, spine tail a bit bumped. Covers extremely clean and fresh. Binding tight and text unmarked, no PO's name. Endpapers a bit foxed/toned. DJ is VERY GOOD ; not price-clipped ($2.00) very clean, edges worn with chips. Spine is quite sunned and I can't determine if ever had any image, as now it's just gray, though the black titles at head and tail are quite distinct. In a new Mylar wrapper. Mystery. RGR.
