New York G.P. Putnam's Sons/Putnam 1937 1st US edition Hard Cover Good Fair to Good

Blue cloth w/black lettering, 258 pages. Some edgewear, faint spotting to front cover, tanning, previous owner's signature/date on front end paper, in dust jacket w/sunned spine, some edgewear, chipping to corners/spine ends, pieces torn from top spine, general wear.
