Inscriptions/Markings
Author's inscription in ink on front flyleaf: Kennebunkport, Dec. 14, 1917. I understand that but six copies of this book have been printed by Doubleday, Page & Co., five being made to order from another publisher's personal use - though, as he couldn't read five at once, a detective might wonder if he didn't possibly mean to give four of them to other promising Nipskillions. The sixth copy, Messrs. Doubleday & Page sent to me. This is it, and it is now and hereby presented to the Nipskillions Club of Biddeford [Maine], with the heartiest greeting and fellowship of theirs truly, Booth Tarkington.
Provenance
Signed to the Nipskillions Club of Biddeford; Carter Burden.
