De Luxe Editions, 1932. 9.625" X 6.25" in yellow cloth with a burgundy velvet spine. Illustrations by Laurence W. Chaves. The yellow cloth covers are perhaps a little soiled, but the the gilt lettering on the burgundy velvet has faded and darkened until it is nearly illegible. Owner's name and date on flyleaf - otherwise this is a nice clean, tight, unmarked old book: VERY GOOD condition. The illustrations by Chaves look like woodcuts. PLEASE NOTE that towards the end of the book there are a few UNCUT pages. You will need a sharp craft knife or razor blade to cut the properly (joined at the page fore edges). 228pp.. Special Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket.
