First Edition Identifiers
This first edition was only printed once by A.C. McClurg & Co., so any books bearing their name on the spine is a first edition. The cover is red and has black lettering on the cover & spine. The dust jacket and 8 interior illustrations were by J. Allen St. John. There was a total of 12,500 copies.
Photographs
Above is the first edition dust jacket. I would grade it in “fair” condition as there are lots of chips, wear and separation at folds and darkened spine.
