Internally quite fine with fresh, clean paper and no spotting, a copy still firm and tight, the binding very good with just a little rubbing at the bottom edge and the red of the spine mellowed down a bit as is almost always the case.

Edizione: a very fresh and handsome copy of the first issue. the best type of novel, according to norris, "proves something, draws conclusions from a whole congeries of forces, social tendencies, race impulses, devotes itself not to a study of men but of man." in mcteague, with both romantic elements and occasional extravagances, he is considered to have achieved his idealistic purpose and to have presented a vivid, authentic portrayal of contemporary life in california.
