Seven Steps East (From the Personal Library of Dust-Jacket Illustrator H. Lawrence Hoffman)

8vo., 189pp. Sharp First Edition, First Printing with no other printings listed as called for. A Ralph Lindsey. Bound in blue cloth with titles in black on spine, Square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear save a touch at the heel. No toning or foxing. Very attractive clipped dust-jacket has mild rubbing to extremities and a small chip at the heel. Spine panel and edges are a bit toned. Still fresh and bright with no creases or tears. Though not marked in any way, this came directly from the library of H. Lawrence Hoffman who illustrated the dust-jacket. His son, David Hoffman, the noted documentary filmmaker, has signed a statement with information about his father, the artist, and attesting that the book was from his library. A copy of this is included. A very pretty collectable copy.
