Dodd, Mead and Company Edition

What a true first shows: The Best Plays of 1922-1923 first appeared in 1923; the early volumes of Mantle's Best Plays series were originally issued by Small, Maynard & Company, Boston, with Dodd, Mead later acquiring and reissuing the series. A true first states 1923 on the title page, not a 1938 Dodd, Mead reprint.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
