About This Item
Houghton, Mifflin, and Company, 1903. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Red cloth stamped in black on the front panel and with gilt stamped spine lettering. The volume is lightly bumped on the spine ends and there is offsetting to the pastedowns and endpapers. The dust jacket is clipped on all corners (price of $1.25 is on the spine), and at some time there was restoration to the joints and folds. It now presents beautifully with some edge rubbing and a small scrape on the spine (affecting the author's first name) marring the appearance.

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.
