About This Item
NY: Simon & Schuster, 1950. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good -/Fair. An unusual and apparently quite scarce early book by this noted writer, recently the object of much attention. While this little hardcover, 1/4 bound (gray cloth spine, green paper balance) is essentially sound and possesses a good bit of aged charm, it has flaws. IE, some bumped edge abrasion, lite brownish stain at spine foot. Text unmarked, some age darkening at edges. I will attempt to shoot and show inscription when shooting the book. The hand is what looks to me like neat Spencerian fountain pen. Wrapper was received in clear jacket of unsatisfactory type and application (we use acid free tape on ours) and it will be replaced with new mylar. Many chips, much creasing and soiling are present (soil to white back panel especially heavy) but, still, adding nicely to the item. NAP and no asterisks per McBride, 1st edition, jacket price $3.00. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately. Books listed by Brass Dolphin are so described, and graded, using the strict, traditional standards. For this reason, we have virtually zero returns.*
