Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 1st Edition. PUBLISHER: Doubleday Doran DATE/EDITION: 1931, same dates with no added printings BINDING: Hardbound in black cloth spine and illustrated paper covered boards, 9" x 12", pages not numbered DUST JACKET: No jacket BOOK CONDITION: There is some damp spotting at upper left front corner that does not penetrate the inside. The rear cover has some large scuffs and there is some edge wear at the top rear cover and a few of the rear pages but text and illustrations are not affected. The bottom corner of the first free end paper is ripped off. There is some play to the front interior hinge with webbing visible but the covers are secure and the text block tight. DESCRIPTION: Terrific block print illustrations throughout in black and white. There are four prints that have color highlights that are very neat but I am not sure if this may have been done by a previous owner. Obviously the book has some issues but there are a lot of really nice illustrations throughout.
