About this Item

5-3/4" x 8-3/8", viii + 258pp. Sewn binding in dark blue textured paper-covered boards, with decorative design stamped in silver foil on the front, and a decorative book block stamped in silver foil on the spine. Confusingly, the publisher's page lists Clarke, Irwin as the Canadian publisher, and makes no mention of the originating publisher, Rinehart & Co. of New York. This is a reading copy. The jacket is missing, and the cover shows noticeable wear. The front and rear paste downs show the remnants of the dust jacket, long gone now, which had once been glued to the book at the fore edges. On the inside cover, near the hinge, is a rubber stamped "WBB & LINC", and in the same spot on the back cover, a small 5-pointed star. There is a noticeable lean to the binding, which remains sound. Some moisture staining to the lower fore edge, affecting the first 64 pages. The book was printed on acidic paper, and age toning of the edges of the book block and the pages themselves is well advanced. Pages are unmarked.
