About This Item
Prague: Czech-Moravian Printing and Publishing Company / Ceskomoravske Podniky Tiskarske a Vydavatelske, 1930. Fourth edition. Hardcover. Good. Blue cloth hardcover in Czech (no English) with gilt titles and thick stitched flowers along the bottom front third of the cover - beautiful in multiple colors, though now worn and darkened with age. The gilt titles are worn in spots and faded as well. I am uncertain if this is a hand re-binding, although it seems to be of the period so may have been a special edition. A good copy, but aged and showing some soiling and wear to the cover edges and corners. Interior is clean and unmarked, but with endpapers fading at the edges, and pages age-toned. The stitched binding is solid, but lacking tightness and the rear hinge is beginning to strain at the stitches. A handful of dog-eared pages. 407 pp. Baar's hard to find semi-autobiographical novel in it's fourth edition, beautifully ornamented on the cover.
