GREY, Zane

The Short-Stop

New York: A.C. McClurg & Co, 1909. First Edition. First printing. Small octavo (19.5cm). Publisher's pictorial green cloth, stamped in white and black; 310pp, frontispiece and 5 inserted leaves of b/w plates (halftones). A complete, sound copy, with the binding mildly rubbed (slightly heavier at spine ends) and some small flakes to the white portions of the pictorial design. Front hinge (internal) has a hairline crack extending approximately 3" from the base, still holding tight. In all, a solidly Very Good example, lacking the extremely uncommon jacket.

The celebrated western author's fifth published book and one of his only three forays into baseball fiction; long considered among the hardest Grey titles to find in collector's condition. Despite minor cosmetic flaws, this remains a quite presentable copy.

Price: $450.00
