No dustjacket or slipcase seen. The primary binding of The Literary Guild issue was issued together with THESE RESTLESS HEADS, in the same slipcase and a matching binding. We have seen THESE RESTLESS HEADS in this same black cloth binding, TRH-A2b, but we have not seen a set in slipcase.

Notes:

This issue of JAMES BRANCH CABELL is identical to the 1932 McBride printing of the revised edition, A11b, except for the binding and title page. The title page has been replaced with one matching the title of the Literary Guild issue of THESE RESTLESS HEADS, TRH-A2b.
