This copy has been inscribed ["For / Leonard Bacon - / Scholar (underscored) and Critic (underscored) -"] and signed ["John Schoolcraft"] by the author on the front free endpaper. NB: Signe…d copies of Frederick Faust's books [regardless of which name/s he signed them with] are scarce. Apparently a romantic novel involving tramps/hobos.

[With the in-joke that the dedication page reads "DEDICATED TO / FREDERICK FAUST / 'May God love me as I love a / straightforward man.'---Jack Wilton"]. Foxing-like spotting to the edges of the text block [heavily to the top edge], front hinge badly cracked; else would be a lightly spine end bumped VG or better copy. Lacking the jacket. .LR2/4E.
