About This Item
New York: Exposition Press, 1951. Hardcover. 8vo. Tan cloth with brown lettering, pictorial dust jacket. 132pp. Very good/good plus. Though jacket ispictorial and overall fairly attractive, there's paper loss at lower right of blank rear panel that also includes 1½" of spine and small portion of lower left of front panel. A tight, nice later printing of this travelogue and dance research expedition by the noted Chicago dancer, dance educator and choreographer (1890-1966) -- who boldly inscribes and signs this copy in black ink on front flyleaf: "To Etta Salita, / a very charming / person. / Best wishes / from The author / Gladys Hight / April, 28 -- 1954."
