About This Item
Hardcover. Very Good. Very good cloth and boards hardcover in no dust jacket. Illus. DIEDRICKSEN. Yale U P, 1917, 1st ed. first printing. Great chapter on book collecting as offering up a bit of snuff from the past: "And if a brown dust lies on them, I bow and sniff upon the rack, as though the past like an ancient fop in peruke and buckle were giving me the courtesy of its snuff box" (Brooks, 17). Brief edgewear, paper label at foot of spine half gone, top label intact and nice. No reader, remainder, or ex-library marks. Binding excellent.

About Station North Books
I grade conservatively, personally inspecting all the books and trying to describe their condition so you have no surprises. I aim to underpromise and overdeliver. My best feedback is the (more than) one that says, "Better than described!" I have been collecting books for years and sharing story and ideas as an English teacher since 1987. Ned at NedSparrow.com
