New York: Macmillan
First edition, third printing, December 1938

SIGNED and inscribed by White on the half-title page: "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from W.A. White, Emporia 1938-9"

Condition: Hardcover; dust jacket has fairly heavy wear around the edges, some tears and small chips, faint moisture discoloration on lower edge that does not appear to affect actual book beyond very faint superficially to the lower fore-edges. Found a few passages underlined or marked with a line in the margin in pencil. Otherwise the interior is clean and neat, and binding remains firm.
