This is one crazy cover. I love the type and it would appear that someone added that little color of red. This is the 1956 printing of the original dated edition of 1942 by the L. W. Singer Company from Syracuse, NY. At one time it was $1.20 as marked in pencil on the inside cover. When it was for sale at the Bryn Mawr Bookstore it was marked at $.25.
I have been searching in vain for this edition ever since seeing your photograph, it's stunning, the red pen only makes it even more appealing. Truly lovely in every conceivable way.
