New York, NY, USA: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934. 1st Edition 1st Impression. Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Brown, Paul. First edition, first impression (with 'A' on the copyright page, as called for). Extensively illustrated in black and white, all by the author. In linen-spined pictorial boards. Landscape 8vo. Boards heavily rubbed at edges, with chipping and scuffs, rounded on corners, cloth rounded and fraying at spine ends, faded and lightly marked. Text block edges mildly toned. Illustrated endpapers toned, scuffed and discoloured along hinges. Almost every leaf shows signs of reading and fingering, mild toning on margins, but generally clean and neat. Probably in slightly better condition than the long list of faults implies - it is solid, firmly bound and very readable, and a good candidate for restoration.
