Item description from seller

Stated First Edition. Once listed, this will be the Only copy of this 1925 American first edition for sale on the Internet. There is one 1925 English first edition for sale that's in pretty rough shape. This book is in very good condition. Take a look at the photos of the covers. They are very clean (only one tiny dark spot just off the front bottom edge) and they show only minor wear, crinkling/bending and a little rubbing at the spine ends, some smooth rubbing on the rear cover along with a light crease at its top corner, and some light rubbing at each of the four corners. The edges are in solid shape. You can see that the gilt lettering on the spine is still very bright. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is very solid from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is also in excellent condition. The pages are very clean throughout. They're also in excellent condition. I didn't see any conspicuous creasing, no placeholder creases. I found only one tiny tear off the outer edge of one page, far from the print. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. There are a great many diagrams and illustrations throughout. They all appear to be in excellent condition.…

Store description

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
