Red cloth, spine panel lettered and front cover airplane device in gilt. Text block edges a bit dulled by age, otherwise essentially as issued, though lacking dust jacket. Stated first edition. xii,275 pp., illus. w/ maps. Signed on half-title "For The Morgans / Anne," and while the signature bears a passing resemblance to that of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, who frequently inscribed copies to personal friends simply as "Anne," we have doubts that this example is genuine. More often than not, Listen! the Wind was inscribed by both Lindberghs, given that Charles executed the map illustrations, and this example is written on a slant, rather than the author's typical horizontal inscription. However, the inscription is intriguing insofar as it is "For the Morgans," which would most likely be Anne's sister Constance and her husband, Aubrey Morgan, who had married in 1937 (the year before publication), three years after the death of Aubrey's first wife, Elisabeth, who was also Anne and Con's older sister. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
