Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. Illustrated by F.O.C. Darley and Thomas Nast. (illustratore). 1st Edition. First edition of the widow Dodge's second and by far most popular novel, in original beveled brown boards. Title page in black and red (correct for first edition.) Publisher's gilt device to front and rear boards both bright; gilt title to spine somewhat more faded though still easily legible. Spine rolled a minimal 3/16ths inch; board corners poking through. Some modest fraying to heel of spine, but this copy is what some would call "unsophisticated," meaning "No one has messed with it." Pages white and a delight to read, with only slight foxing to title page. Volume will close its own text block; grade it "very good." Four B&W plates including frontispiece remain secure. Although the three interior plates are captioned to indicate they refer to action occurring on pp. 243, 275, and 337, they are actually bound in at pp. 120, 192, and 288. Jacob Blanck in Volume Two of his "Bibliography of American Literature" explains this is correct; "The plates are inserted without relation to the positions indicated in the list of illustrations." Ornate period bookplate hand-signed by previous owner Mary D. Paxon of Walpole. N.H. (NOT an author signature.) This copy lacks any publisher's advertisements bound in at rear, though there is no evidence that any pages have been removed. The 1958 Hallmark Hall of Fame live television musical, directed by Sidney Lumet, starred Tab Hunter as Hans. (Our old acting instructor said "Watch Tab Hunter's hands. He never has any idea what to do with his hands.") 347 pp. Reduced from $1,625.
