Add to basketItem description from seller
[12] pp., 8vo, string-tied sheets. Lacking the black card wrapper. Possibly an off-print from Melbert Cary's Bibliography of the Village Press, published by the Press of the Woolly Whale in 1938, in which this item appears with the same layout (other than the title page), even though dated 1937. The last page states "100 copies - August 1937. This one for David M. Glixon. Will Ransom." Glixon was a longtime bookman (publishing, author, poet) who lived in Ardsley, New York, not that far from the last location of the Village Press in Marlborough, New York. A fine, clean copy otherwise, but without the wrapper.
