THE WALTZ INVENTION

by Nabokov, Vladimir

Price: $55.00


Payment methods


Book desription: New York: Phaedra, 1966. Hardcover First edition (Juliar A19.1e). One of five variants of this title published by a small press that according to his biographer Boyd (and irking Nabokov) often spent more money on advertising than his regular publisher Putnam. This is the only variant in a blue dust jacket, and with a different publisher address on the back flap. (Interestingly this does not to my eye have different paper for the first signature as his bibliographer calls for.) A beautiful copy with minute wear at the crown and tail of the dark blue cloth, in a bright and fine dust jacket.
