Octavo, blue papered boards with gilt lettering, [ii], 34 pp. A little tear on spine, a few localised stains on front and back cover, some spotting, otherwise a good copy. Signed. "It was a little house on a plain street. Yet as I entered the gate to-night, I closed it gently, reverently, for I suddenly realized that the little…house had the dignity of a great mansion, the majesty of a royal palace. A messenger had entered that gate four days before." Excerpt from Not Taps, But Reveille. Signed.
