Mustard colored cloth bound to spine over beige colored paper on boards - bright gilt lettering and odd little logo? to front, dark lettering to spine with gilt logo. Book is tight, square, relatively sharp-cornered and free of major flaws or markings inside and out. Publisher's Note: "in the presence of a continued attempt to issue a spurious and garbled version of Mr. Whistler's writings, the Publisher has obtained his permission to bring out the present volume printed under his own immediate cure and supervision." Very Good copy. The book was in part a response and a transcript of Whistler's famous libel suit against critic John Ruskin.
