Faint cup 'ring' on rear bd, some scuffing & soiling, binding sl. cracked. Former owner's name on front pastedown. The dust jacket has been price-clipped and has pieces missing at the top and bottom of the spine. It is also a bit creased and scuffed, and is in fair condition. Folding map at rear is in excellent condition. This is the first American trade edition, published at the same time as the Jonathan Cape first British trade edition, both after the limited edition published the same year. Issued in dull pink buckram, or as O'Brien A107 describes it: 'grey red buckram'. Although the copyright page states 'First printing in America, March, 1927', this is a later printing, as it lacks the GHD 'lozenge' on the verso of the title page. A prudent prospective purchaser should always confirm the presence of this important point when considering the purchase of a copy described as a 'first American edition'. Ill.: 16 plates, folding map.
