About This Item
London: J M Dent & Co, 1920. Everymans Library edition in green buckram "Library" binding and gilt title border with round loop on spine. No dustwrapper, minor bumping to spine ends and corners of green boards, a very few pieces of pencil marking to the text, otherwise a good clean tight copy. No publication date shown, but this book (number 347) was first printed in this series in 1916, and this style of binding was stopped in 1934, so sometime between those dates, probably on the earlier side. 325pp.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
