Two-part cloth binding, fine in a lightly worn, very good or better slipcase as issued.

Also laid into the book is a closely written Autograph Postcard Signed ("Walter") from Baum to Conlen, sending the book, acknowledging receipt of vignettes of Mexico, acknowledging that "Mrs. Baum and I will read your book when we start on our next sketching tour," and recounting what he is and isn't doing in the studio: "I've been doing odds & ends in the studio so far.
