New York: A. L. Burt Company, 1920. Hardcover. VG+. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover, maroon cloth boards are clean with only minor corner bumps though spine is faded. The interior binding of the text pages is tight. The front hinge is good but the rear hinge shows a split starting at the bottom. The front end page shows where something was written in pencil along the top and then later erased, and there is a small rough spot about 3 inches down from the upper outside corner where something else was erased. The rest of the pages are unmarked, no bookplates, no library markings, no other evidence of handwriting or signatures. This is an undated volume from Burt's Home Library. The catalog in the back only goes up to the letter S, so it is likely this book was published somewhere between 1915-1920.
