McGovern, William Montgomery

Published by The Century Co., New York, 1924

About this Item

New York: The Century Co., 1924. First edition, 1924. Signed by the author according to previous owner, with the handwriting similar to other inscriptions we've found online, but it's signed only as Bill - To Charlie from Bill, Christmas 1924. Charlie is Charles Russel Riley whose name is in pencil below and on a personal bookplate inside the front cover. We're inclined to think it's actually signed by McGovern but use your own judgment. Illustrated with black and white photos. Blue pictorial cloth printed in gilt and gray, 462 pages. The book has modest shelfwear, rubbing to corners and spine ends, spine printing faded but legible, light colored speckling to rear cover, good hinges, sound text block, light age-toning to half-title, frontis and title page, names on front endpapers as noted, no other markings. Signed by the Author. First Edition. Hard Cover. Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
