Product Description

1930.
259 pages.

Book is beautiful.
Binding and hinges are strong and sound.
Professionally reinforced binding with expert cloth cleaning to maroon cloth over flexi-panels.
Tiny nick to cloth on spine.
On February 25th, 1930, the Modern Library printed their First Edition of this title.
The first ML edition was offered in a choice of four colors without preference to which of the four colors came first.
The offerings were red, blue, green and maroon.
Cloth color would in turn dictate the corresponding illustrative endpaper color as well as the topstain color.
In my experience, maroon seems to be the least common color.
As for the original Modern Library jacket, ninety-five cents price is intact.
The first state jacket with the Wuyts designed artwork lists 170 ML titles on rear whereas this copy, with the ninety-five cents price, and Wuyts artwork cover, lists 253 ML titles on rear, so this is an early state DJ married to this first printing, of the first Modern Library edition.
DJ shows chipping, a closed tear, soiling on rear, and an open chip on upper half of spine area of jacket.
The book is near-fine with flaws noted, in an early jacket with stated flaws.
