Early reprint (lacks the Farrar, Straus and Young colophon). 8vo, pp. [iv], 250. Quarter white buckram, blue linen boards, spine lettered and decorated in blue. Bruising and a little wear to extremities, sunning to top and bottom board edges, edges tanned. Occasional creasing to bottom margins, else, clean and tight. In William Metzig’s fabulous illustrated dust jacket: price clipped, creased, rubbed and grubby, extremities chipped, a few closed tears to spine ends, reinforced by PO to rear, pen pricing to inner flap. Still, a copy that retains a significant dose of charm. Unusual.
