Lovely copy of this handsome production, limited to 50 copies (this "G") in slipcase. (This slipcased edition appears to have been issued without dust jacket, which is typical, though this copy has had the trade edition jacket added.) Street & Smith were innovators who pioneered the dime novel and pulp fiction. Scarce.
