Paperback. Zustand: Fair. First Edition. Melbourne, Stream, 1931. Small quarto, 48 pages. Three-colour pictorial wrappers a little stained and worn, but now expertly conserved; minor signs of age and use (shallow light tidemarks to most leading edges, some contemporary pencilling); overall, a decent copy of a rare item.
