Hardcover. Etat : Poor. No Jacket. Reference Copy. A Poor 8vo Blue Ribbon Books hardcover (1929 copyright by Harcourt, Brace and Company). Missing its dust jacket. Modest condition grade because of patches of black staining--probably book mold--on the pages' bottom edge that bleeds into the bottom margin of some pages. The moisture exposure has also caused gentle riffling and an occasionally light stain line in the lower third of the contents, plus a disturbance in the sheen in the lower half of the boards. The rear paste-down has a small bookseller label and small paper tears in the hinge/gutter. In other respects, a G hardcover with contents (x + 336 pp., + a frontispiece and 19 additional drawings) that appear mark-free, complete, and securely bound. Black cloth with spine gilt lettering and a blind stamped decoration on the upper board. Bumped and/or well-rubbed bottom corner tips; bumped spine head and tail edges. No ex-library markings. **Extra charges to cover shipping costs may apply to an order requesting expedited and/or international shipping because of the size and weight of this book.
