About This Item
New York: Farrar & Rinehart / Grosset & Dunlap, 1929. Book. Illus. by Annand (dust jacket illustration). Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Adventure and romance "for and about people inspired by emotion, passion, and romance." The book is a Farrar & Rinehart edition, but the dust jacket is a Grosset & Dunlap issue, so one of two things is presumed: a) that when they issued this title in their line Grosset & Dunlap simply printed their own dust jackets to fit the Farrar & Rinehart-published book, or b) that a previous owner married a G&D jacket to the F&R book. My guess is a), but it's a guess and nothing more. Nonetheless, not always easily found in a jacket. Edgewear, a bit cocked, moderately soiled edges, previous owner's name/address on first end paper, abrasion to bottom edge of a few pages near back. Dust jacket w/scraping/abrasions/tears to folds, edgewear, short tears, chipping/edge tears to top spine, bottom 2" of spine missing, impressions, two small brown stains to front panel..
