Grosset and Dunlap. Copyright 1945. Author was Leslie McFarlane. Cover art by Russell Tandy. Text rewritten in 1966. This is the original McFarlane text. Print run Carpentieri-coded 1947A-5, 5th printing. #24 in the series. War-time paper used, but there's no war-time paper notice on the title page. This type of paper was fragile and discolors more easily than standard paper. This book does not have any torn pages, though, and the sturdy pages turn well. Very good tan book, strong hinges without tracking. Orange Gretta endpapers. Beyond prior owner's name and the 1947 date on a pre-text page, there is no further writing, and no markings. Very nice dust jacket. HBB24
