Actually a very nice copy of this, the second issue of the first edition sheets of the authors first book bound in maroon cloth with the McBride colophon on the last page of text and released here in 1936. (Not to be confused with the very common 2ND EDITION (NOT second issue) published by Covici Friede in blue cloth without the McBride colophon on the last page of text).
