Across the River and Into the Trees

First English edition of 1950 (the first edition, published the same year, is American) on ordinary paper, complete with its original illustrated unclipped dust jacket with gondola motif.

Publisher's binding in turquoise green cloth, to spine, a mock title label on red ground with palladium lettering and publisher's device also in palladium to foot, red central medallion to upper board echoing the gondola of the dust jacket, bottom edge untrimmed.

Cloth very slightly faded to spine ends, old faint traces of adhesive tape to pastedowns, minor rubbing to spine ends, joints and corners of the dust jacket. A pleasing copy.
