This is a fine, bright copy with only traces of wear and soil, still protected in its rare dustwrapper. The dustwrapper has had extensive old repairs from within over time, including some tape repairs, and it lacks bits along the edges and folds, but it is still presentable.
A surprisingly rare book, the more so in this condition, by the iconic Maud Humphrey, who trained, inter alia, under James McNeil Whistler. (Inventory #: 19750)
