Description: A stated first edition of Roberts' first novel. The long, 18th century-style title only appeared in the first (actually printed in 1929) and second (January 1930) printings, both of which are dated 1930. The only difference between them is the absence of the First Edition notice on the verso of the title page in the second printing Hardbound in dark blue (almost black) cloth over boards with the decoration and title in orange on the front cover and spine. The cloth is now protected in a heavy mylar cover. The first and second printing bindings are notoriously bad and this copy shows typical signs. Front hinge split with the free end paper and half title barely hanging on. The binding is also broken at the rear hinge between the text block and end paper. Text block is tight and unmarked. The pages have toned with age but with no foxing. Top page edges are stained orange; side page edges are deckled (rough cut).
