370 pp. Illustrated with photo plates. 9½x6¼, gilt-lettered cloth, top edge gilt, endpapers with Brooks' genealogical chart. First Edition.

Inscribed slip "Presented by B.B. Brooks, May 6th, 1939" tipped in at half title. One of a total edition of 1,025 copies, according to the Clark & Brunet bibliography. The frequently-cited assertion that the entire edition consisted of 150 signed copies probably refers to an issue that was to be distributed by Brooks, with 250 copies to be sold by the Clark Company, and the remaining, unsigned copies to be dealt with later. Adams, Herd, 332; Clark & Brunet 29; Dobie, Southwest, p. 98; Howes B-814.
