Description
New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1912 First American edition, first printing. Publisher's navy cloth, front board and spine stamped in gilt. Very good, with light toning to spine, mild dimming to spine gilt, boards slightly bowed, minor wear to spine ends and board corners, a touch of soiling to rear board, bookseller's book listing affixed to front pastedown, small pencil mark to p. 7, and text slightly damaged on pp. 52-53. Overall, a pleasing and tight copy. Housed in a brown cardboard shipping slipcase from Book-Of-The-Month Club. In this memoir, Conrad gives a stream of consciousness account of his Polish upbringing, life at sea, his entrance into the navy, and the writing of his first novel, Almayer's Folly (1895). The work first appeared in Ford Madox Ford's English Review in 1909 and was subsequently published in book form in 1912 as Some Reminiscences in the UK and A Personal Record in the US.. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good.
