This is a very good hardcover, NO dust jacket, jacket missing. First American Edition 1939 Putnam Publishing. This copy is very good inside and out. NOTE: there is a minor crack to binding, a frequently seen minor flaw in books of this age but all the pages are tight to binding. See photo representative of such.
