| Description: |
| 168 pp. 7½x4¾, original buff printed wrappers. First Edition. |
| The exceedingly rare first edition, in the original buff wrappers. This was the H. Bradley Martin/Jeffrey Norton copy, with book label of the former laid in, and that of the latter mounted on the chemise. It was sold at auction at Sotheby's in 1990, and at PBA Galleries in 2002. The 1940 Van Winkle sale included a "slightly defective" copy, lacking the back wrapper, with the notation "one of only two copies recorded in the wrappers." It has not been determined whether the copy being offered here is the other one referred to, or another, unrecorded copy. In custom-made half morocco slipcase and chemise. Van Winkle pp.13-14. |
| Condition: |
| Minor staining and wear to wrappers, old ink notation ("Sell 1/6 b/o") to top of front wrapper, rear wrapper with old but neat reattachment along lower inside gutter, else near fine, quite possibly the best copy in existence. |
