About This Item
Utah: Deseret News Press, 1938. First edition. Hardcover. Good. Same date on title and copyright page, no additional printings or dates noted. A "good only" copy in burgundy boards with fading or darkening to the titles. Wear at the spine tips and matching rubbing at the spine edges near the joints. A rough patch toward the top of the front board. General shelf wear to the board edges, but corners are mostly straight. The binding is solid, but lacking in tightness from reading and use. Previous owner's info on both the pastedown and the front free-endpaper. The text has periodic underlining and marginalia, in three different pens/pencils. The writing is more than occasional, but not pervasive. While early copies of this title are available, it is becoming more unusual to find a first printing, and this one is quite attractive in spite of its noted flaws.
