Price: US$315.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: A very good copy of the presumed first hard cover edition (no explicit edition or printing statement, although the dates on the title and copyright pages correspond), lacking a dust-jacket. Inscribed on the front free endpaper: " For Bob Cromie - the best tales of Stephen Grendon / (August Derleth)." Cromie was the well-known book reviewer in Chicago. Previous owner's name modestly in ink at front free endpaper, else the text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the binding still rather bright and fresh in appearance, with a bit of wear at the extremities of the black cloth boards and some dulling to the gilt lettering on the spine. A handsome copy.
