New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1940. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo., 225pp. Sharp First Edition, First Printing with Scribner's "A" on the copyright page as called for. Bound in original blue cloth with titles in yellow on the front board and spine. Square, tight and clean throughout with very mild edge-wear. A touch off-setting to end-papers. Bookplate on front paste-down. Very attractive unclipped dust-jacket, ($2.00), has some fairly moderate rubbing and wear to edges and tips with some miniscule closed edge-tears. Still fresh and bright with no creases or chipping. Inscribed and signed by Derleth on the front end-paper, "To ___, Sincerely, August Derleth". A very pretty collectable copy of an uncommon title in any condition and quite scarce inscribed.
