Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Longmans, Green & Co., New York. 1927. 352 pages. First edition, second printing, stated. Published in the same month and year as the first printing, September, 1927. Original scarce DJ is included, which is the exact same DJ used on first printings, from the same month and year of this publication. $2.50 price intact on DJ flap. The original DJ is more rare than even signed first printings, as the cheap paper used on these dust jackets have in large part, crumbled away. As for this copy, the book is bright, tight and clean. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Pages and endpapers are bright and clean. Red cloth covered panels still maintain their original sheen. Titles stamped in black, unmarred, without rubbing. Book's only flaw is a bruise on lower right front corner tip, with minor faint evidence of ensuing page corners (faint.) Rare original DJ shows chipping on lower right corner, and at foot and crown on spine. Faint remnants of an old price sticker on spine, that looks like it could be removed with goo be gone.
