About This Item
Chicago: Belford, Clarke & Co, (1881). First U.S. edition in hardback as near as we can tell. Originally published in London in 1881 by Chatto & Windus as a triple decker and in the same year as in a single-volume version. The first U.S. was published in softcover by George Munro in the Seaside Library. OCLC records one copy of this Belford, Clarke edition at Yale but we can find no further bibliographicall details and would appreciate any additional information. 8vo blue cloth boards stamped in black and gilt. Good or better with some tiny nicks and tears and covers a bit skinned and rubbed, most noticeably along the edges.
