Chicago:The Reilly & Lee Co. (1923). 1st edition. 224pp. Frontispiece by Harry W. Armstrong. Hardcover.  Blue boards soiled and shelfworn with pencil marks to spine strip and light mottling to front cover.  Internally, end-pages age toned with a previous owners name penciled to verso of frontispiece otherwise, aside from an occasional smude and slight age-toning to paper, a good clean copy.  The binding is tight and hinges intact.
