Product Description
Octavo, 203pp., illustrated. A crisp, sound copy, very good or better, with the spine gently cocked and a tiny stain to the top edge. In a good dust jacket with several creases and chips. This copy with a tipped-in typed letter, SIGNED by Lamont, which has been taped to the verso of the frontispiece and the preceding leaf. The letter, dated May 6, 1947, is addressed to one Hilbert F. Day of Cambridge, MA, and discusses in general terms a reading list for children, something Lamont stresses in his memoir as important. Day, as best we can tell from an online genealogy, died that same year. The (presumably slightly later) ownership signature of Gertrude B. Coffin, presumably the painter, is on the front free endpaper, along with a contemporary bookseller label from her hometown of Duxbury, MA.
