1936ref. 012361New York: Covici Friede / Sun Dial Press 1936. 1st Edition second issue. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Very good in maroon cloth with spine unfaded except at the very tips. Top edge blue stain faded. Goldstone and Payne call this the "first edition second issue" but is more properly simply the second edition. This maroon cloth issue retains the McBride bell logo on the final page which seemed to indicate these were first issue sheets reissued with a new title page and cover. Covici Friede however made up new sheets for this edition. This book comes with a later 1938 Sun Dial dust jacket which is decidedly original to this book. Jacket has some chipping at spine head and rear corner and also soiled on rear panel. Sun Dial apparently bought out remaining stock when Covici Friede went bankrupt in 1938 and then sold them with their own dust jackets. Sun Dial later went on to release other later reprints of this book. Covici Friede / Sun Dial Press hardcover
