Nathanael West, 1933

First issue: original brown cloth, spine stamped in black and silver (“Booklovers Loan Library Los Angeles” blindstamps to front endpaper, title page, and intermittently throughout). Pictorial dust jacket (spine panel and rear panel badly torn, crude repairs with scotch tape, small chip to front panel.) Third (Greenberg) issue: original tan cloth stamped in blue. Pictorial dust jacket (some rubbing and edgewear, light dampstain to rear panel). Custom chemises, together in quarter morocco slipcase.
