Mario and the Magician Thomas Mann SIGNED FIRST US EDITION 1930 in DJ

Signed by Mann without inscription on front free endpaper. Octavo (7.75" x 5.5"); 81pp.

Original pictorial dustjacket over plaid boards. Unclipped dustjacket shows a small, clean tear at top near spine along with a good bit of scuffing to face and edges, smudging to back, and rubbing to top and bottom. Boards show some darkening/soiling, with the front board starting to curve outward just a bit. Binding is solid and pages are unmarked.
