Calico Shoes and Other Stories
New York: Vanguard Press, (1934).
Price: $600.00
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in an about near fine dustwrapper, lightly worn, with the spine sunned and the spinal extremities reinforced. Curiously, on the front flap the publisher has warned: "We caution collectors of first editions not to overlook this title," which considering the scarcity of this title, they apparently did. A nice copy of an uncommon book.
