Kittredge and printed under his supervision at The Lakeside Press, R. R. Donnelley & Sons Co., in Chicago. This is copy number 278.
This is NOT an ex-library OR a Remaindered copy!
VERY GOOD book in a VERY GOOD slipcase. Book is solidly bound with typical wear to spine ends and along spine where the finger grab points are to pull the book from the case, light soil to extremities. Neat, attractive owner plate, otherwise free of any other markings, underlining, remainders etc...
No dust jacket as issued from the publisher. VERY GOOD slipcase with red, felted interior. Light, overall signs of shelf wear and handling (see pics). No tears or separations to case. Sound, collectible copy of a scarce, early Limited Editions Club title.
All items are carefully packed in bubble-wrap and placed INSIDE a BOX for shipping.
BIDDERS, PLEASE NOTE: All images taken with a digital camera. I DO NOT use a scanner and any images of interior pages are taken carefully (The book is not flattened down to take images). Also I use a flash so some of the white "Hot" spots on the top and bottom of Books or along folds are caused by the flash and the reflection from the Mylar protector. Please refer to description for confirmation of condition.
