The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam: The First and Fourth Renderings.

New York, NY Thomas Y. Crowell , 1934. Hardcover Very Good+ to Near Fine: The Book shows just a tick of wear to the top edge of the rear panel; a former owner's name inscribed at the upper front free endpaper; else flawless; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. A handsome, nearly-new copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing a couple of imperfections. Bright and Clean. Corners sharp. Very close to 'As New'. The Green, heavy cardstock box with titles at designs at the front panel remains attractive and intact, but the corners have been reinforced with clear cellophane tape and the bottom (unprinted) portion of the box is the same green, but does not fit the upper part exactly and is probably a later replacement and the original must have been damaged or otherwise lost. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (10.2 x 7.7 x 0.55 inches). 96 pages. Illustrated with twelve tipped-in color plates and numerous black and white designs and drawings by Willy Pogany. Language: English. Weight: 23.7 ounces. Olive green cloth over boards with gilt titles and designs at the front panel and backstrip. The book is undated and there is no designation of printing or edition. The publication date is taken from an external source and represents only an educated guess. Hardback in Publisher's Color-Printed Box.
