About This Item
New York: Charles Scribners Sons, 1930. First American Edition (Third Printing) (Cohen A91.2.c)(Woods A37b). Hardcover (with Dust Jacket). Very Good. 16mo (378 pages, photo frontis, maps, illustrated. With Scribner “A” on copyright page.). This is a very good copy of the Third Printing of the First American edition in the rare dust jacket, which is price-clipped and spine-faded, as per usual, but most attractive overall, quite bright and fresh on the front and rear faces, and thoroughly intact across the spine, with just a few closed tears at the head and tail. The book itself is virtually mint, inside and out, with a tiny vintage bookshop plate on the rear pastedown.
