The volume is bound in the publisher's original yellow cloth, which remains tight and structurally sound, exhibiting only minor rubbing and mild softening to the spine ends. Internally, the text block is secure, though there is noticeable foxing affecting the preliminary leaves, the title page, and the outer page edges. The original printed dust jacket is present; it displays general dust soiling, moderate edge wear, a slightly darkened spine, and a small closed tear with associated creasing near the upper spine panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"0\" data-index-in-node=\"701\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: First edition, first impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eThe Golden Rose\u003c\/i\u003e is an exceptionally scarce work of early twentieth-century short fiction.
