About This Item
1939 Farrar and Rinehart first edition. The author published under the pseudonym "Hester Pine" to avoid repercussions to her husband, a professor at Union College in Schenectady NY.
Condition of the book is Very Good. The binding is straight and sound. Inside pages are complete and unmarked. The main condition issues are light wear to the boards, and the prior owner's name on the front free endpaper.
Condition of the dust jacket is Acceptable. The DJ has been price clipped. It shows considerable wear, including staining from old tape reinforcement to the edges and folds. That said, the distinctive cover illustration, and author's photo/bio on the back panel, display well in a new mylar cover.
