Book Description
Chicago [and for second and third volumes:] Cedar Rapids: Privately Printed for the Friends of Walter M. Hill [and for second and third volumes:] Privately printed for the Friends of the Torch Press, 1935 - 1937.. Three volumes. Small octavo. Cloth and boards, printed labels. Frontis in each volume. One leaf in second volume has a soft crease, a couple small spots on lower edge of second volume, otherwise a very good set. First editions, the first printed in an edition of 350 copies, the others in editions of 400 copies, printed at the Torch Press. The second volume is pleasantly inscribed by the author: "To the dear old General, from whom all friends of Americana got their best books (not a single foreign element in them) - from J. Christian Bay." An anecdotal overview of classical Americana collecting as practiced at the time.
