Sobre este artículo
New York: Robert M. McBride & Company, 1930. Unrecorded binding variant. Bright, shiny, clean, square, and tight. Sharp corners. Dust Jacket has a few small chips, and a short (less than 1 inch) closed tear. NOT price clipped (3.00). No owner's name or bookplate. No remainder mark. An anthology of Cabell's writings. Subtitle: Chosen with an Introduction and Initiatory Notes by John Macy. "First Published, September, 1930" is so-stated on the copyright page. Bound in the original brown cloth, lettered in dark brown on the spine. This appears to be a scarce binding variant of the first edition, unrecorded in the standard Cabell bibliography by James N. Hall and Nelson Bond. Hall #23 describes three binding variants: 1) black cloth with gilt lettering; 2) brick-color cloth with black lettering; 3) yellowish-tan cloth (code G: only 11-30 copies bound, valued between $480-$720 (in 1974). Could this unrecorded 4th binding variant be as rare as the yellowish-tan copies? Art-deco Dust Jacket design features a full-color painting of a woman in a long, flowing gown, standing in a beautiful garden setting. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine condition/Very Good dust jacket. 8vo. xxvii, 291pp .

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
