The binding on this copy is GENUINE LEATHER, superior to the cheaper leatherette (imitation leather) found on later printings.

Laid-in is a letter from the publisher, which says in part: "This leather-bound volume." [The reference to "leather" was removed from the letter laid-in later imitation leather-bound copies]. Also, on one of the book's preliminary pages is the following statement: "This volume is bound in leather." [This reference to leather was later removed for the leatherette copies]. The binding is gilt stamped, and embossed with a handsome western motif (including rising sun, longhorn steer, tomahawk, and six shooter/bullets). A silk ribbon page-marker is sewn into the headband. All edges gilt. Attractive marbled endpapers.
