Harper and Brothers, (October 1908). Hard Cover. FIRST EDITION, first printing (October 1908). According to the story "Tom Potts was fooling with a gun (such follies should not be), when - bang! the pesky thing went off most unexpectedly!" The bullet travels through the neighborhood and appropriately there is a small hole on each page showing its path. Very good minus in blue cloth boards with color illustration pasted down to front cover. Heavy rubbing, some soiling, and chipping to edges of illustration on cover. Wear and fraying to edges of boards and spine ends. The inner hinges of this book have been amateurly repaired. Pen inscription from previous owner to front endpage dated 1909. A few spots of soiling and a few spots of foxing to interior. Browning to inner hinges. Unpaginated. CHILD/102709. Very Good
