First Modern Library Edition 1929 stated on copyright page. This is a very attractive copy of a rare Modern Library title. Bound in blue balloon cloth (spine #5) with Kent end papers. Very short-lived binding style, in use 1929 - Spring 1930. This gold-heavy design was planned before the 1929 crash, and was quickly deemed too expensive for Depression-era book publishing. The gold torchbearer was replaced with a blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. The book is VERY GOOD. Solid binding, bright gilt on cover and spine, sunning to spine and part of back board, matching blue topstain nice. Contents are clean with no owner's signature or other writing in text. Neat small bookstore sticker on bottom ffe "The Old Corner Book Store, Inc. Boston Mass.". GORGEOUS AND APPEARS UNREAD!

The back of the dust jacket mentions 159 titles matching a 1929 First Modern Library Edition. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector.
