Description
1921. London & Toronto: J.M. Dent & Sons, 1921. Original olive-green cloth, with dust jacket. First Edition (preceded by a 35-copy privately-printed issue). This is a collection of pieces that had appeared, over the prior two years, as 25-copy pamphlets produced by Clement Shorter and by T.J. Wise. This copy is in the third and usual state, with a cancel leaf for pages xi-xii, to correct the "S" and "A" of "SEA" lacking in the Table of Contents. The first state lacks these two letters entirely; the second state retains the original leaf but with those two letters hand-stamped in. Supino, drawing from a statement from a Dent official, says that the 9,450-copy first edition consisted of 100, 900 and 8,450 copies in the three states respectively. This is a fine, bright copy; the notoriously brittle dust jacket is very good (minor edge-wear that includes a few small chips, spine slightly faded). Supino A23.4.0 (this copy); Cagle A51a(2). Provenance: discreet bookplate of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino (plus his brief notation on the endpaper).
