About This Item
New York, NY Frederick A. Stokes Company, 1930. Hardcover First "Authorized" Edition USA, so stated. First "Authorized" Edition USA, so stated. Very Good in Good DJ: The Book shows indications of careful use: light wear to extremities; very slight spine lean; former owner's attractive "early aviation" motif bookplate affixed to the front pastedown endpaper; very faint, but pervasive foxing at the tinted top edge. The Binding remains quite secure; the text clean. The DJ shows fairly heavy wear; some loss to chipping and rubbing at extremities, which also show a number to tiny tears, most of them closed; moderate soiling; price clipped, mylar-protected. A structurally sound, tightly bound copy, showing a few minor flaws and light wear in a well-worn, but mostly intact DJ. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. viii + 305pp. Deckle fore-edge; decorated endpapers. Hardback with DJ.
