About This Item
New York: Literary Guild of America, 1937. Book. Fine. Hardcover. Not Signed. Reprint. This Literary Guild of America edition was published in the same year as the 1st Edition. This copy is over 80 years old, has been well taken care of and is in fine condition. Its construction is unlike most of the poorly made book club editions. The cloth covered boards, embossed front cover, and matching top stain add up to a handsome edition possibly as desirable and rare as the first edition. The text block is solid, clean and square. Endpapers are clear of markings with NO previous owner's signature. Spine tight, boards rigid and tips pointed. There is no book club deboss on the rear cover. The jacket is in near fine condition with bold colors on the cover, just a hint of wear at bottom edges and a bit of spine and front cover top fade and some small shelf wear at some edges. It looks spectacular in its shiny new plastic cover. Shipping box is suitable for wrapping with a non-price listed purchase order inside along with biodegradable packing..
