About This Item
Baltimore, MD: Privately Printed , 1929. Limited Edition . Hardcover. Good-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, gray paper covered boards half bound in black cloth to spine. Exterior shows quite a bit of spotting and soiling along with edge and corner wear. Signed by the author in pencil on the front end page. This is also a limited edition of 150 copies, of which this is number 83. The hinge is cracked at the front board and there is some splitting at page 260 but the remaining binding is good. The front hinge crack is pretty severe and is starting to pull back from the spine, so it will need to be repaired. It is likely the brief presentation inscription by the author was to a friend as the author's memoriam is tipped-in on the front end page and there is also a tribute pamphlet enclosed from the author's funeral. There are a few minor dampstains, one on the bottom of the tribute pamphlet and some on the lower inner corner of the first dozen pages. Page 243-245 has a sloppy outside edge where it appears the pages were not fully cut in somebody separated it with her finger. No other handwriting found in the book.

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.
