The cloth at the lower end of the spine and the lower rear corners of the boards shows a faint dampness stain which has not migrated to any other parts of this copy In a very near fine, unclipped dust jacket very slight wear to the ends of the spine area and two tiny closed tears to the upper edge of the front panel. Signed by "James Branch Cabell" one of the authors on the fly title page. The 24th volume in the Rivers of America Series. Co-authored with A. J. Hanna. 324 pages including an index and bibliography. Despite the minor flaws noted above, this is a handsome collectible copy.
