Description: INCLUDES THE STATEMENT "PUBLISHED FEBRUARY 1935" WITH NO OTHER PRINTINGS STATED.THIS IS THE TRUE FIRST PRINTING OF THE AMERICAN VERSION OF THE BOOK (THE ENGLISH VERSION HAD A DIFFERENT ENDING)CONDITION IS NEAR VERY GOOD FOR THIS WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED "VERY FRAGILE" FIRST EDITION. CONDITION ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS.1- WEAR TO THE CLOTH TO THE HEAD AND FOOT OF SPINE COVER (PHOTO 6 & 7)2- SLIGHTLY ROUNDED CORNERS OF BOARDS WITH LIGHT FRAYING (PHOTO 1,4 & 5)3- WEAR TO SURFACE OF CLOTH ON HINGES (PHOTO 1,4 & 5)4- TWO CORNER BENDS NOTED - ONE BARELY (PHOTO 9 & 10)5- OCCASIONAL SOILING AND LIGHT FINGERPRINTS. THE TWO WORST ARE SHOWN HERE (PHOTO 11 & 12). 6- GENERAL OVERALL PAPER TONING7- DUST ON TOP PAGE EDGES RESULTED IN SPOTTING TO SURFACE OF PAGE EDGES (PHOTO 8) For a typical book, this would be "good" condition only but this book gets bumped up a half grade because it is so difficult to find a nice copy. There is no writing, no tears and no creases noted other than the two corner creases shown. The binding is square and tight. Other than the occasional soiling, the pages show some toning but no foxing or spotting or significant discoloration.There is no jacket.When you search the ebay copies of this book, this is about the nicest internally and externally you get a trade off between the discoloring of some and the spine edge wear of this one. I utilize a third party shipper for international sales. Please note the actual shipping cost before purchasing. That is not my shipping fee and I neither receive it nor know what the amount is. Please do not commit to "buy it now" until you have seen the shipping amount that you will be charged. Thank you. For International Buyers: Media Mail shipments only. Please note that, although you are likely paying very high shipping costs to have this item sent to you, I am not charging those costs. In the case of books, I utilize "media mail" to get the box to the third party shipper. "Media mail" is a very SLOW speed mailing process reserved for books and records that are potentially very heavy. If you can not wait for my shipment to reach the third party shipper at a very slow pace, please contact me before purchasing and I can add a faster (and more expensive) alternative to the listing to get the item to the third party shipper. MEDIA MAIL: The USPS allows books, records and other media to be mailed at a cheaper price than typical mail. It tends to be a much slower mailing process than standard mail. In addition, any employee of the USPS can open the package at ANY time for ANY reason to verify that what is inside is what should be inside. In most cases, the item is properly repackaged but, in rare cases, it is not and an item can arrive damaged. As my feedback suggests, I package very carefully. If you receive a damaged item that has the appearance of having been poorly packaged, please contact me prior to leaving feedback so that it can be addressed.
