About This Item
Publisher's blue cloth with spine lettering and profile silhouette gilt, octavo, pp. 278. Frontispiece and 7 additional black and white plates inserted. The title page bears the imprint of Minton, Balch and Company, but the spine says Putnam. Confusion regarding this matter may be cleared by realizing that Minton and Balch, founded in 1924, merged with G. P. Putnam's Sons in 1930. This edition seems to have been published during the transition? Book condition is GOOD with shelf-bumping of bottom board tips, instances of mild foxing, and dust-jacket flap offsetting. Price-clipped dust jacket GOOD with chips at spine ends and flap fold points. Rear panel shows shelf soiling more readily than if publisher had chosen a darker color than beige. Jacket now in protective Brodart.
