Original 1946 Edition in clothbound cover
Very Good* to Good* condition
High quality full color replica of the original dust jacket cover
Only four copies available!

The most important factor is the condition of the book. It is extremely difficult to find this edition in Very Good* or Good* condition—most we see on the internet now are in Acceptable* condition. Our friends who are long-time devotees have decided to sell a part of their amazing private collection which they have preserved with meticulous care.

Four copies were available and they're selling fast—this is the last one! [SOLD OUT]

The original dust jacket covers are now impossible to find. Each of our four copies has its own high quality dust jacket cover that is a full color replica, a scanned and touched up version of the original. This will protect the original cloth-bound book.

About This Copy: The only inscription in this book is on the inside of the front cover page. Collectors would categorize its condition as Very Good interior and Good cover. The clothbound cover is Good because it shows slight wear and is slightly faded by the sun into a light blue. This is fairly normal.

Feel free to contact us with any questions about other editions that we have.

Due to the nature of these rare and delicate books, all sales are final. Discounts do not apply. Returns are not accepted. Shipping will be fully insured and will require signature.
