McBride in original brown cloth covered boards with gold gilded lettering by and design work. In first state dust jacket. 364 pages. Stated first impression (printing) on copyright page - September, 1927. Something About Eve An early fantasy novel where reality intertwines with the mystical tapestry of existence. Follow the non-heroic journey of a man named Gerald Musgrave, who is trapped in a life of discontent and unfulfilled ambitions. As he grapples with the stagnation of his writing and the burdensome nature of his romantic entanglements, a sinister temptation presents itself in the form of a devil's offer. With a leap of faith, Gerald embarks on a transformative odyssey, encountering enigmatic allegories, mythical creatures and hidden messages woven into the fabric of his new reality.

Water dampening staining to spine and rear cover, colorful cover art, age-toned, impressively little chipping (considering it is an early dust jacket without a protective laminate coating), light edge wear.
