New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1925. Cloth. Very Good -. The 1925 true 1st edition, conforming to all required issue points ("chatter" {pg. 60}; "northern" {pg. 119}; "it's" {pg. 165}; "away" {pg. 165}; "sick in tired" {pg. 205}; and "Union Street station" {pg. 211}). Notably, this copy includes 80%-90% of the rear cover of the 1st issue dustjacket, which has been neatly pasted onto the front free endpaper.

A mistake of course made back in the day (1924) by the Scribner printers -- and an endearing one.
