I have the excellent North Point Press edition from 1984,
which was published by arrangement with the Arion Press. This
edition has photographs contemporary to the action in the
story - in 1928. At the back of the book are notes giving
details for each photograph and its reference in the text.
Fairly large type, easy to read.
