About This Item
New York: Tudor Publishing Company, 1936. Third printing of this edition (hardback). 8vo (26cm by 20cm), [ix], 271pp. 12 colour plates by E J Detmold. Original green cloth, gilt titling to the front board and the spine. The binding is a little blotchy, there is some foxing to the endpapers and the edges of the text block, and a gift inscription; overall, the book is in good plus condition. The dustwrapper and presentation box are both present with this copy, but both the box and the dustwrapper are in scruffy condition.
