A US first edition, first impression.
WRAPPER : The evocative period wrapper on this copy is bright and complete. It is unclipped, showing the price $2.00 on the inside flap. The front panel is bright, unfaded and bold. The spine panel is lightly soiled and shows gentle wear to the ends. The white back panel is sound - the pine crease is worn and is crudely repaired to the verso of the jacket. Looks sharp in protective plastic.
BOOK : The book is square and very tight. The boards are bright and clean. The corners are sharp. The spine ends are lightly bruised. The pages are clean. The closed page edges are lightly flecked. The binding is solid and without cracked hinges. There are no loose or dog-eared pages. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very nice copy in a protected wrapper.
Publisher: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1928
