Item description from seller

First Edition (NAP, 1924 on the title page). 'With Numerous Musical Illustrations in the Text.' You can see the covers in the photos. Nice color. Blue with a hint of purple. The spine is a darker blue. The gilt lettering on the spine is nicely bright. It is faded away at the bottom where the publisher's name can be seen in small letters. The cover edges are in very good shape. There are tiny specks of rubbing at the corners. The page edges look very good. The spine looks pretty straight. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover. The covers are nicely tight. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm not finding any instances of soiling. That is also the case for the inside covers and end papers, with only one speck on the blank rear end paper. I'm not finding any instances of creasing. There are no markings of any kind. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. A rather rare book.

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.…
