About This Item
New York: Random House, 1946. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Good+. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Stated first edition hardcover with dust jacket, which has the price clipped on the front flap. DJ is toned with spotting and sunning present as well as some scuffs and spotting. Edges and corners show bumps, chips, and tears. The largest terror measuring about one inch. Blue cloth boards underneath have strong color though there is some minor toning along the edges and spine. The top of spine also has a small tear in the cloth. Internal binding is good and text pages are tight. No signatures or bookplates, no library markings, no remainder marks. Pages are toned due to age, particularly the pastedowns and opposite end pages. The front pastedown and end page has a dark rectangular mark, presumably from where a paper sat for decades. The only evidence of handwriting in the book is in the upper corner of the front end page where there is faint evidence of a price once penciled and then later erased. Stated first edition on the copyright page with no other printings listed. The only other issue found with the top exterior page edge which is dyed red. There is some light spots present see just a small bit of staining along the top edge of the front end page pastedown. Please note: at the time of this listing we had multiple copies available. Each copy is listed separately with its own set of photos so you can see exactly what you are purchasing.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
