About This Item
Alfred A. Knopf, 1940. First Edition. Acceptable. First edition. Judging from the faded and stained boards, the DJ disappeared a long time ago. Navy blue cloth-covered boards are stained and quite faded, especially on spine. Corner tips are dented with light fraying to cloth. Spine ends are dented and there is a ding on the rear spine edge. Ex-Libris sticker and embossed stamp on FFE. Paste downs and end pages are quite age-toned, especially so in the hinge area. Read paste down has an old sticker from a book store. Pages are "pseudo" deckled. Top of text block has blue staining to match covers. Binding remains nice and firm. Very readable copy. 381 pages.
