Orange textured cloth with gilt embossed publisher's logo on the front board and gilt spine lettering. Previous owner's name and address, dated April 1, 1931, are on the front free endpaper. The endpapers are mildly foxed. Otherwise fine. The dust jacket is quite worn along the top edge, with several chips. The spine is darkened and has a small puncture. The joints are scuffed. In Brodart archival dust jacket protector.. Hard Cover. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
