FIRST EDITION IDENTIFIERS:
A.C. McClurg & Co. published
this book for the first & last time on June
4, 1925. So all books of the above title that have
"A.C. McClurg & Co." printed on the spine
are a first edition. Like "The Cave Girl", this book
too omits "The" on the spine but includes it on the
cover. Modest Stein (who?) illustrated the dust
jacket which is also used as the frontispiece - the
only interior illustration.
This is the second book of four
separate titles in a row that have blue cloth boards
with black lettering. All four of the books are
individual books, not part of a series, and
published within one year of each other. The
print-run of each of the four books was only 5,000
copies making these four among the more difficult
books to find. In addition, the blue cloth on the
spines of these books tend to darken easily making
it difficult to find one that hasn't been
sun-damaged.
