Original blue cloth decorated in lighter blue, gilt, and portrait pastedown. No DJ. Spine lettering worn. Nick, the protagonist, begins by watching women from his window, pursues one in particular, and then...? Five quaint colour drawings and a cover pastedown by Wallace Morgan illustrate this oh-so-Victorian glimpse of New York social life. Front free end paper missing. "Old Ladies Home" in ink script, and initials OLH on edges suggest that it was an informal library copy. Minor corner wear. 311 pp. Don't miss the PHOTO.
