First edition, American issue of EP’s ABC of Economics. One of 300 copies, from the original sheets (c. 1000 of which were published by Faber in 1933, a further 720 sets bombed), imported and jacketed by James Laughlin for New Directions with a cancel title-leaf. Boards lightly discoloured along the top edge with soiling in the gutters; label on spine pristine; a general backwards bowing of the book; fpd and ffep browned but leaves otherwise very nice. The jacket is the most remarkable part of this book, a beautiful design rarely surviving in this condition; the front cover faded, the spine browned, the back cover retaining colour and the flaps some true colour; light breaks to the folds and one scar to the spine, but in one piece and entirely unrestored. Gallup A34b.
