About This Item
A. C. McClurg & Co, 1918. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good-. Signed. First edition with "Published, April, 1918" on the copyright page and "W.F.Hall Printing Company, Chicago" at the base of the copyright page. The volume has gentle spine wear, 2 faint inked names and date on the front pastedown, and a rear hinge just starting. Accompanying the volume is a check from the account of Edgar Rice Burroughs, which is attached to a light cardboard backing, and is SIGNED by him. The dust jacket, which has undergone some restoration, is edge-worn; has soft creases, especially at flaps, and there is some color loss at the folds. There is soiling and light toning to white panels, and the flaps are clipped (the price of $1.35 is present on the spine). Repairs are visible on the verso of the dust jacket, and include mended chips at head and foot of spine panel, edges of front and rear panels, and the flap folds. An old tape mend is visible at bottom of spine. The jacket is now protected in a sleeve and for all its problems presents fairly well.

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.
