Down the River by H.E.Bates with illustrations by Agnes Miller Parker. Published as a first edition in 1937 by Henry Holt and Company. A hard-cover with no dust-wrapper. 83 wonderful wood-cut illustrations. The gilt lettering on the spine is bright and the blue cloth cover shows some slight bumping to the corners. There is a name-plate inside the front cover. There is part of a small stamp on the free-front page. There is some foxing to the preliminaries and otherwise some very light scattered foxing in the book with clean illustrations. A very good copy.
