About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1919. First Edition First Printing. Hardcover. Fair/No Dust Jacket. Signed. A Fair copy in edge-worn green cloth lettered in gold. Unsightly glue-mends to paper tears at the gutters, and a corner chip to the half-title page. The binding is sound and the text is clean. From the library of author Henry Rood, with his initialed 1919 acquisition note inside the front cover, a 1931 pencil gift inscription from him to a subsequent owner, and a hand-addressed envelope from Thayer to Rood glued to the front endpaper containing a 19-line handwritten signed note (dated February 10, 1920) thanking Rood for a kind review, and for his correction to an anecdote on page271 (incorporated in later printings). Rood has added his marginalia at that page, explaining the correction. No dust jacket.
