J.B. Lippincott Company | Philadelphia | 1940

pp. 376 | First Edition/First Printing

Hardcover with zebra-pattern cloth boards and matching titles to front and spine. Exterior is exceptional, showing only subtle rounding to corners and minute scuffs. Otherwise, cloth is free of any stains or abrasions. Owner's signature to front endpaper, else interior is free of any further writing, foxing, or soils. Binding is sound throughout with strong hinges, and spine remains straight. Dust jacket shows heavy edge-wear with deterioration to corners and inner panel hinges. Covers show some spots and the usual lightening, though titles and design remain fully legible and vibrant. True first edition with correct points including "Adventure" in italics to cover,  "Manufactured in the United States of America by the Haddon Craftsmen, Inc., Camden N.J." to copywrite, and no further issuances listed. Volume likely married to current jacket, which shows BOMC badge in lieu of $3.50 price. This is nonetheless a lovely, true first print volume with scarce dust jacket.
