Bound for Scribner's (and signed) by Atelier Bindery in a sumptuous, 1/2 dark-green morocco over light green boards. Raised bands, compartments with intricate gilt-tooling along the spine. Tight, solid and VG+ to Near Fine, with very light spotting at the boards. Elephant folio, top-edge gilt, deckled fore and bottom-edges.
