Bookplate. Second Edition enlarged one of 300 copies. 17 plates. 1 vols. 8vo. Although the Derrydale Press imprint does not appear on this edition as it did on the first 1929 and is thus discounted by Siegel the similarity of presswork and production gives weight to Frazier's argument that this too is a product of the Press. It is certainly a desirable copy inscribed "To Mrs. Markoe from F. Gray Griswold 1932" on the front free endpaper and preserved in a matching slipcase unmentioned by Frazier.
