A Near Fine copy of the first edition, later printing, issued in two volumes in about Very Good dust jackets with the jackets showing some sunning to the spines, some chips and some quite small tears, some damage to the right side of the jacket's spine panel for Volume One, and some sunning to the volumes where the jackets are chipped.

Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1903. First Separate Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/good +. Strothman, F.. An about Very Good copy of the first separate edition, also being the FIRST ILLUSTRATED EDITION of this notable work by Mark Twain, in a good example of the EXCEEDINGLY DIFFICULT TO FIND DUST JACKET. The tale first appeared in either newspaper(s) or magazine(s) and then as the title story in Twain's debut book "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, and Other Sketches" (1867). That collection contained a collection of twenty-seven (27) stories and was his debut book. This small volume presents the first separate publication of the tale which also was the first appearance of the tale with illustrations. The book shows general wear and loss to the spine lettering and the front free endpaper shows a presentation inscription dated in December, 1904, as well as a stain to the margin of page 1. While the dust jacket shows wear and loss, it seldom appears at all, making this an EXCEEDINGLY…
