Description:
N. Y.: Charles Scribner's & Sons, 1938. Book. Illus. by Will James. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition ?. Very good, with some wear to extremities. The price-clipped jacket is quite edgeworn, with fraying to top edge, but all the cover lettering and illustration are clear. There is a one inch inverted V chip at the bottom of the spine, that just clips the left side of the S in Scribners, a small chip at spine top, and a hole 1/4 inch diameter in centre of back spine fold. Nonetheless, all lettering is again clear and legible. Overall, this remains a presentable copy. Without the " A ". No indication of reprinting..
