New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1936. First Trade Edition. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. Octavo, 61pp. "Second edition," per Edelstein, but really the first trade edition, as the preceding 1935 edition was issued in a small print run of 165 copies. First printing thus. A fine, fresh copy in the third binding state (publisher's pale yellow/orange boards, with spine label). Fresh black topstain, perhaps the slightest sun-fading to extremities, but really a handsome example. In a near fine dust jacket, somewhat darkened on the spine, and with a tiny nick to one edge, but fresh and lovely. The trade edition in any of the binding states in fresh condition is perhaps as scarce, if not scarcer, than the preceding limited edition. Edelstein A2b (binding 3).
