About This Item
1926. With an Introduction by Richard Curle. Garden City NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1926. Original dark blue cloth, with dust jacket.
First American Edition of this posthumous collection of twenty essays, most of which had previously appeared in England in limited pamphlet form. In our experience the American edition of LAST ESSAYS is considerably scarcer than the English one. This is a fine copy; the dust jacket, which bears a portrait of Conrad (and the verso of which bears a large ad for Kipling's works) is very good-plus, with moderate wear at the extremities. Supino A27.2.0 (this copy); Keating 202. Provenance: discreet bookplate of Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino (also, loosely inserted is a card with his penciled collation notes).
