Octavo. 6 x 9.25 in. 27 pp. Very good in the original orange wrappers, with minor edge wear and pages that are clean and uncut. The pamphlet has a vertical crease down the middle, giving the appearance that it was folded at some point, though it lays flat now. This copy is housed in a special red cloth folder with a small bookplate from the library of Jerome Kern, and matching half-morocco slipcase with minimal edgewear. A prior owner has laid in two newspaper columns and a note card with publication details. Very Good / Very Good. Item #6555
