New York: Lincoln Mac Veagh / The Dial Press, 1929. First Edition. First printing of Burnett’s first novel. Original cloth, rubbed at the extremities, very good in a dustjacket with chips and tears with small points of tissue reinforcement, but no repairs . A scarcer book than it seems. The Literary Guild, a contemporary book club, issued the title shortly after the 1st edition, and that edition is often confused
