Toronto: McLelland & Stewart, 1936. First Canadian Edition. Octavo. 19.5cm. Publisher's green cloth titled in black to spine and front board. Dustjacket. 376pp. Some light bumping and scuffing to the cloth, mainly at the spine ends, strong and bright, in a clean and strong example of the dustjacket with some minor marginal wear and shallow loss. A very good copy. Top edge stained green, internally clean. Some light offsetting to prelims and an erased old ownership to the front flyleaf that is still just visible. Fore-edge untrimmed, some light spotting to page edges. A rather florid paeon to the strength of character and go-getting attitude of Canadians post WW1. (Inventory #: 81666)
