About This Item
Charles Scribner's Sons, 1938. Hardcover. Good/Poor. Later printing with the publisher seal but NOT the "A" on the copyright page. The volume is bumped on the spine has a touch of fraying on the crown, and the spine is rubbed and lightly sunned. The pastedowns and endpapers have areas of darkening, especially around the gutters, and the pages are lightly toned. The "dust jacket", which is slightly taller than the book, includes the rear panel and spine (which has a chipped crown, touching the lettering). There is a horizontal crease running through these remains. This is a book which would look good on a shelf. Probably best to leave it there.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
