VG-/None. First edition, 1921 printing (1921 bottom of title page). Red woven cloth with lettering and design stamped in blind on front cover, lettering stamped in gilt on spine. Contains color frontispiece by Parrish ('Courage"'). This is an exceptionally scarce book for any Parrish collector to find, as indicated by Ludwig not having cited it and Erwin Flacks' Parrish Collector guide not knowing the author and uising the 1921 date shown in this book (although the 1st was actually 1916).This is a relatively clean and tight copy inside with no prior owner marks or foxing, but it does show some exterior wear and the spine ends are starting to fray and there ais a small 1/8" hole the top of the spine Still it is a very collectable copy given the scarcity of this book, and that it matches the date stated in Flacks.
