The studies included were first published from 1929 to 1939 and here benefit from a foreword by Alexander Woollcott. This is not surprising since Woollcott was a prominent member of the Board of Judges of George Macy's Readers Club, and this was one of their first publications. There's a name on the front endpaper, the spine panel is a little darkened, and edges are slightly browned, but a very good copy.
