Description

First Edition, and First Issue, with the single line imprint and with signature “11” at bottom of page 161 as called for by BAL. With portrait frontispiece from a photograph of the author and 192 other illustrations by notable illustrators such as A. B. Frost, Peter Newell, Dan Beard, and others, and with some from photographs. Large 8vo, publisher’s original blue cloth gilt decorated and lettered on the spine, the upper cover with a central pictorial decoration of an elephant in India in gilt and four colours. 712 pp. An especially fine and attractive copy with very little evidence of age, this copy probably never read or opened, the binding tight and the text-block without cocking, the blue cloth bright, unfaded and unworn internally very clean and very fresh, the text-block firm, hinges strong and only very minimal evidence of shelving. An unusually nice copy of this wonderful book by Mark Twain.
