Riding with Fate (The Ace series)

[1939]. 222pp [2]. In blue cloth-covered boards with black titles on spine. 12mo. Very slightly rounded at corners else volume is neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Hint of spotting on text block edges. In its original illustrated dust jacket. Jacket is rubbed at edges, chipped at spine ends with a few short tears from upper edge, small scar on verso as well as some writing, small number written towards top of front panel.

Despite there being a list of illustrations, the volume was printed without illustrations - perhaps a mistake on the part of the publisher.
