About This Item
New York: Charles Scribners' Sons, 1933. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good. This is a first printing of the first edition, with an "A" on the colophon, in an original dust jacket. The interior of the book is crisp and clean. The paper has darkened slightly, but there are few signs of previous use or wear. The black covers are fresh, with light wear at edges and corners. The dust jacket is not price-clipped, but is only in Good condition, with light wear overall, but shallow chipping/folding to the top and bottom of the spine. The attached scan gives a better idea of condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover.
