1928 True 1st Scribner's Issue Illustrated by Wyeth NEAR FINE-CONDITION with the requisite 14 color plates/black boards/Scribner's colophon. Now, here is where it gets confusing where a lot of people think they have the 1st issue but don't, as this is a widely available copy in 1st thus (but not 1st issue) and the similar trade book edition. The key here, which my book is, is that only the 1st issue will not have the title"Smoky" listed on the back of the dust jacket, while subsequent issues do list "Smoky. Also you'll note that the plate on the d/j is actually pasted onto the d/j (just like pasted onto the book). My copy's d/j is price-clipped with small missing chips but the "non-"Smoky" verifies the 1st issue. A beautiful 1st issue representation from my private collection priced markedly lower than commercial antiquarian dealers. For a limited time I am offering FREE Media Mail shipping "See my other items" priced below commercial antiquarian bookseller listings (adding more daily).
