Item description from seller

Small 4to. Quarter black calf with gilt lettering/rules and brown cloth with gilt medallion, pictorial dust jacket, cloth and decorative paper over boards slipcase. 283pp. Top edge gilt. Color frontispiece, numerous illustrations (some color), color decorative endpapers. Very good/very good/very good. Inoffensive scuff and chip at head and tail of otherwise-near fine binding; jacket lovely and sharp but for large chip at head of spine and 1/8" trimmed off top and bottom edges; slipcase mildly edgeworn. Lovely copy of this handsome production, limited to 50 copies (this "G") in slipcase. (This slipcased edition appears to have been issued without dust jacket, which is typical, though this copy has had the trade edition jacket added.) Street & Smith were innovators who pioneered the dime novel and pulp fiction. Scarce.
