About This Item
New York: J. F. Tapley Co, 1923. First Edition. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Bound in publisher's dark brown leatherette binding over semi-flexible boards, with emblem stamped in gilt on front cover, in original glassine wrapper housed in original brown card-paper box with two publisher's prospectuses laid in. Fine, virtually as new, in a Near Fine toned glassine which is lightly edge-worn and has a short split at the end of one of the flap folds. Near Fine original box with light staining and a split to one corner of the lower tray. Bookstore rubber stamp to one prospectus, with two holographic strike outs to the text, one being to the price and the other the text reading "synthetic Rajah lizard skin cover." At the very least, this points to different variants if not issues or states. Bibliographic musings aside--a rather nice copy, uncommon in the original brown box and with extra materials laid in.
