THE ROAD
Edition: First Canadian issue
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1931. Octavo, green cloth lettered in black, light green topstain. [4], 378, [2, blank] pp. Front and rear cover a bit mottled by some sort of reaction involving the binding or jacket materials; small mark to top page ed ges; Xmas, 1931 ink gift inscription to front free endpaper; else fine and fresh. The dust jacket is in stunning condition - small faint soil spot to rear panel, else very fine and fresh. Housed in a contemporary gift box, the lid covered with green decorated paper (some fading), the bottom bearing the rubber stamp of Roher's Book Shop, 729 Yonge Street [Toronto]. A super copy of this novel, and an intesting example of book retailing of years past.
