About This Item
Macmillan & Co., London, 1898. Distinctive green cloth, with overall decorative stamping in darker green, lettered in gilt. Bookplate of collector Paul Lemperley and some relevant clippings inserted by him in back, else a fine copy, in a good example of the very scarce printed dust jacket (see below). Half morocco slipcase (a bit corner worn). First edition, first issue, of the author's fourth and best known book, distinguished by the presence of the original printed dust jacket. The jacket is in good condition just two corners a tad pushed down ( see photo ) It is, nonetheless, not a jacket that is frequently seen. Sorry the third photo is crooked of inside but its in excellent straight form :)
