A Mencken Chrestomathy
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1949. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine / Very Good. Item #015919
8vo., 627pp. Sharp Stated First Edition of this anthology of out-of-print writings. Bound in blue cloth with titles in gilt on spine and decoration in gilt on spine. Blue top-stain. Square, tight and clean throughout with just a hint of page-edge toning and no foxing. Some softness to spine ends and wear to the tips. Still quite well-preserved for such a thick volume. Very attractive unclipped dust jacket, ($5.00), has some tiny nicks to top edge and spine ends. Some rubbing to tips and hinges. Moderate soiling on rear panel. Still bright and complete. A very pretty collectable copy of an uncommon title and at a great price.
