About This Item
London: Mellifont Press, Limited, 1925. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾. N/a. No date. Circa 1925. Assumed first edition. Pulp fiction type title but in original publisher's blue boards stamped in yellow to the spine and to the front board. Sprung so the front board is away from the spine, but rather interestingly reveals the gatherings all being titled and lettered. No inscriptions. The textblock remains tight and the pages a little toned (cheap paper) but very clean. Would be a very good copy but for the front board being sprung. Scarce.
