Description:
N. Y.: Charles Scribner's & Sons, 1929. Book. Illus. by James Will. Very Good. Hardcover. First Printing of the First Edition. About fine but for a little rubbing and wear at extremities. Green cloth cover is bright and clean. The age darkened, edgeworn jacket has a little chipping at the top ( title lettering O.K. ), and is missing an inch and three quarters of the spine foot, incl. publisher name. Nonetheless, a very acceptable copy of the true first edition, that is becoming quite uncommon..
