The top edge of the text block is gilt. A small quarto of 9 3/8 by 6 1/4 inches with very light rubbing to the leather at the head of the spine. The book plate of Jean Hersholt is on the front paste down. (Hersholt was an early Hollywood star his most famous role being in the 1937 film version of Heidi.) The title page is stamped with a library name at the lower margin and the dedication page shows a five digit number and there is the ghost of something removed from the rear paste down. Those are the only library marks in this copy. It does not have a dust jacket as issued; however, it is contained within a new replacement, black. cloth covered slipcase with the original, printed paper title label laid down on its spine with the handwritten number "30". This is one of the 205 signed by the author and numbered limited edition copies. This copy is identified as number 30 on the limitation page. 583 numbered pages including an index, text and illustrated from drawings by Lonnie Rees and with images from black and white photographs. First trade editions of this title in collectible condition are considered quite scarce. Signed, limited editions even more so. Ramon F. Adams in his bibliography Six-Guns and Saddle Leather referred to this title as: "The most thorough work to date on the Rangers." (Adams, 6-Guns 2333, Howes, W195) Laid-in at the front of the book is a book review from the New York Herald Tribune written by Henry Steele Commager.
