About This Item
New York: Frederick A. Stokes. Near Fine. 1920. Presentation Copy. Hardcover. Letter from president of the publisher, Frederick A. Stokes Company, initialed, stating that book was sent to the recipient at the request of the author, Miss L. Lamprey, "which we publish shortly."

[initials of recipient] from Lunette [part of legal name of author. No. A2" Could this be a handwritten inscription by the author, herself? Author was a resident of Limerick, Maine, and wrote and staged a play at Laughing Loon Camp at East Waterboro, Maine. Book is in pristine condition. Scarce work, and rare in this edition. An additional note: because this is a pre-publication copy it may explain why there is no dustjacket, but yet is in as-new condition. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 240 pages .
