SHEPARDSON BOOKSTALL, 20+ YEARS OF EXCELLENCE. EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION BOOK with DJ of ONE OF THE MOST ESTEEMED BOOKS EVER WRITTEN: Dark Green Leatherette with C3 Catalog at front with 35-37 titles listed making this a September, 1917 surviving copy; BL logo on front; excellent Green Marble Endpapers (1917-19); gift inscription on half title page: "Mary F.D. Browne, Xmas 1917, Mrs. HWH" (See Scan); light wear on top and bottom spine edges. UNUSUAL, VERY RARE DUST JACKET: Jacket is designed by famed book illustrator Willy Pogany. Jacket lettering is in an Art Nouveau script font for 'Modern Library' and 'Limp Croft Leather'. Designer's name appears back, left corner in miniature print on rear jacket panel. Jacket flaps have a numbered Boni & Liveright C3 catalog list of Sept. 1917, which also includes the 'ghost title' ML # 29.0, W.H. Wright 'Best French Epigrams'. Jacket is generic with no book title, therefore could be put on any book in the catalog. Since jacket was produced between Sept. 1917 and Spring 1918 (catalog C4), it was perhaps used for holiday gift books, being more festive than the regular scholarly style jackets. Over the last 20 years collectors have reported only 3 others to exist, each on a different title, each with the top of the spine including the word 'Limp' removed so that the binding title shows 'Croft Leather" only; worn thru in places; 95 cent sticker on bottom; a few chips, tears and folds. QUITE A FIND!.…
