Ellen Glasgow “Barren Ground” First Edition, 1925 Vintage hardcover novel

This is a “very good” vintage hardcover novel in black cloth wrapped boards, published in 1925 by Doubleday, Page and Co., red stained upper text block edge, deckled outer edge, decorated paste downs front and back, 511 pages.

First edition.

The text block is solid and whole, with solid hinges and gutters, front and back. Looks to be a French (?) penciled gift inscription on the half title page, otherwise no marks. Upper text block edge somewhat dusted with a few small spots. All board corners are bumped with upper back corner with a small linear split in the wrapping cloth. Head and tail on spine bumped. Decorative spine paste down has some edge wear but still rather pleasing. Some surface scuffs and spotting on boards front and back, but not significant. No loose, torn or folded pages.

See accompanying images for full condition details.

Will ship promptly, carefully packaged.
