About This Item
First Edition. Softcover with stiff pictorial cards. 208pp, (12 pages of notes). 149 grams. 182x107mm. Doubleday Anchor (New York), 1958. Translated by Vladamir Nabokov. Cover illustration by Edward Gorey. Condition: Near Fine. Very slight marking to front card. Small clip to corner of first page. Spine is uncreased. Binding is perfectly tight. No marks to text. No inscriptions. Remarkably well preserved for a near seventy year old paperback.
Beautiful cover illustration by Edward Gorey. He produced fifty for Double Anchor's literary paperbacks between 1953 and 1960. A first edition translated by Nobokov isn't too shabby either. Paperback credentials don't come much better!
