Catalogue Note
FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED BY WEST ON THE FRONT FREE ENDPAPER, "To Joe Conway affectionately, Pep West, May 8, 1937." The inscription is most likely for his secretary Jo Conway, not "Joe". "Pep" was the nickname given to West by his classmates at Brown University, due to his lack of athletic prowess. The front free endpaper also has the label of the Feldman-Blum Corporation of Beverly Hills.
