Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Limited Edition. Beautifully signed and numbered on a limitation page, copy number 18 of only 500 copies. Fabulous stylish illustrations by Lovat Fraser! A justly celebrated collection from this always fascinating author. Grading this as Fine takes into consideration the age issued, 1934. That's even older than I am, folks! I'm a fan of WDLM, and have been since I was a nipper in the last century. Beautifully bound in cream buckram with a great lily cartouche on the cover. Clean and tight binding and a bit of a bonus; on the inside endpaper there is a contemporaneous bookplate, very stylish, and named for May Vreeland. It has what I assume is an original clear wrapper. An altogether delightful collector's item. Signed by Author.
