Spine dulled, mild wear to corners and spine ends, and some unexplained residue to the verso of the rear free endpaper. Possibly ex-private library, as there is a tiny area of sticker ghost to the bottom of the spine, but there are no internal markings whatsoever, except a contemporary bookseller label to the front free endpaper. Lacking the scarce dust jacket. A fantastic copy, boldly SIGNED by Earhart on the verso of the frontispiece. This title has become quite scarce signed, especially in the first printing.
