About This Item
E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc, 1932. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Near Fine. The volume is bumped and frayed on the spine ends, has a moderately sunned spine, and is lightly perimeter toned on the front panel. The volume is over opened and cracked before the half title page, and the rear hinge is cracked with some of the webbing broken. The spine has a light slant and there is a small stain on the rear endpaper, mirrored on the pastedown. The sleeved, unclipped dust jacket has just light soiling and some edge wrinkling. More than likely, the book and jacket are married.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
