Bound in publisher's royal blue cloth, gilt lettering to spine/front board. Lacking dust-jacket. Plain white endpapers. [6], 7-318, [319-20] blank; eight additional unpaginated coated leaves w b&w photos. Acknowl; author's preface; t-o-c, list of illus; seven chaps; bibliography, index.

Boards solid, with excellent color retention, and square with minor wear. Spine ends rolled, corners bumped. Light foxing to top/head edge, edges generally tanned (as are interior pages, pronounced to endpapers). Front pastedown shows recent owners' bookplate, while free endpaper shows two inscriptions: one, warmly, at page head from author to "Roy and Madelon [Madelou?] Benton", with a second, at tail, to "Roy" from "Chas. E. Benton" and dated Dec 25, 1935. Roy (and/or Madelon) diligently read the book - the interior underlined throughout in blue pen, with accompanying marginalia. Both inside boards/flyleaves yellowed/stained from contact with acidic newsprint stored inside (we've left the article in place - but sealed in plastic to protect the book from further damage- a 1945 newspaper profile of the author). Rear pastedown features a period bookshop label from "Des Forges Books De Luxe" of Milwaukee.…
