This edition is a collection of stories and pictures by the author and compiled by Merle Johnson. Book is yellow cloth with a bright color-picture front. Covers are clean. Top/bottom spine are slightly rolled and the 4 corners are VG. Endpapers had the DJ taped to the cover edge and the tape was removed, before I found it. Left endpaper has the owners name in red ink, neatly done. Pages of the edition are uneven cut. Outer edges of pages 21-28 were apparently not cut and whoever owned this book, did a poor job of cutting them open. Page 21 has a small closed tear, page 23, outer edge was cut unevenly and page25 outer edge is chipped where it was cut open, OTHERWISE, all pages are neat, clean, no tears or writing. Color plates are wonderful and are perfect. Except for these few pages, this book looks never to have been read. There are 12 plates, color and black and white as well as the frontpiece. Very nice. DJ is in a brodart slipcover and is rough. 1/2' chip on top front cover edge. Bottom spine has minor chipping. Inside front flap has been clipped and there is the impression of where it had been taped to the inside of the front cover. Back upper edge is chipped all across it and the lower edge has a closed tear and a 1' chip on the lower edge. Chips on the top/bottom flap folds. Back cover has synopsis of several sotires by Howard Pyle. Back inside flap has a synopsis of a book by Howard Haycraft. All repairs to the DJ have been done from the reverse side. Front cover is the same picture as the front cover of the book. See scan. The book is a very nice edition.
