About This Item

Boston and New York / Riverside Press, Cambridge: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1900. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Slate-grey Cloth. Near Fine/No DJ. 7 7/8" Tall. Embossed Cloth With Silver. First Trade Issue, Mixed States. (I-Viii) Including Preliminary Blank Leaf After The Front Free Endpaper, (1), 2-251; Printer's Imprint , P. (252); Final Blank Leaf Before The Rear Free Endpaper. Stub Between Pp 10 And 11. Publisher's Imprint At Bottom Of Spine : Houghton | Mifflin.&.Co. With Periods Around Ampersand, And Ampersand Is An Odd Design [Both Indications Of A Second Or Third Printing). (First Printing Of 2028 Copies, Per Sisson-Martens, 1010 Of Second Printing, 1004 Of Third Printing, But What Identifies 2Nd And Third Printings Is Not Absolutely Clear). Bal Does Not Provide Definitive Points For The First State. However, James Henry (As Cited In Sisson-Martens) In "A Proposed Chronology Of Editions Of "The Son Of The Wolf" Requires The Following Additional Points For The First Binding : 1. Perfect (&) On Spine (Not Present Here, At Least Design Is Not Standard Ampersand But Also Not Defective, Just A Different Symbol); 2. Perfect "E" In "Spruce" And Perfect "T" In "Might" In The Bottom Two Lines, Page 147 (Present Here, And Henry's Second And Third States And Later Issues Have Imperfect Letters); 3. No Stub Between Pp 6-7 (As In This Example, Which Has Stub Between Pp 10 And 11); 4. Sets Of Binding Threads Between Pp 6-7, 18-19, 30-31, And Every Six Leaves To 246-247 (Not Present Here, This Example Having Binding Threads Between Pp. 2 And 3, 18 And 19, Etc). The First State Requires A Comma After Copyright Date, Now Considered A Simple Distinguishing Point Of The First State, But There Is A Period In This Example. Lastly, The Type On Pp. 65 Is Partially Broken ("Flight" And "Perfect" Only, And Less So Than Some Other Issues). An Attractive Near Fine Book With Very Slight Rubbing At Corners, No Previous Owner's Names Or Other Markings. Altogether A Very Nice Example In The Type Ii Binding Except Not A Broken Ampersand, Just An Odd Symbol, And With Sheets (Other Than Period On Copyright Page) Retaining First Printing Points.
