Bloody Head

New York: E. P. Dutton & Company, Inc, 1940. First edition. Hardcover. 254pp. Octavo [19.5 cm] Tan cloth spine and boards with red ink lettering on the spine and front board. Very good. Light bumping at the head and tail of the spine and some foxing to the front and rear boards. Brief numerical notation on the upper edge of the free front endpaper. The endsheets are darkened along the hinges and edges. In a very good dust jacket. Mildly age-toned, foxed and rubbed. The spine of the jacket is subtly sunned. There is a short pencil notation on the top edge of the rear panel. The edges are chipped, and there is a small loss from the top edge of the jacket's spine. The loss measures 1 and 1/2" wide by 1/4" deep. Some wear (as noted) but, overall, a nice copy of an uncommon title. Dane Coolidge also wrote "Yaqui Drums.
