About This Item

New York, NY: Longmans, Green, and Co, 1919. Second Printing of the First American Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. A beautiful copy, in the achingly difficult to find, and very colorful original publisher's jacket. Red cloth over boards with title stamped in blind onto upper board and blocked in gilt onto spine, 12mo size (7-3/8 inches tall), pp. half title, ads, title, [iv], [1]-384, 1 ads, 3 blank, illustrated w. 12 sepia half-tone illustrations - inc. tissue-guarded frontis, all by Maurice Greiffenhagen. Terminal text leaf with "The Quinn & Boden Co. Press / Rahway, N.J." printed at foot. Volume w. text block edges just beginning to show some toning, tissue guard w. a 1/2 inch closed tear to upper corner. Price intact DJ with a short closed tear and crease at upper corner of front panel near spine fold, minor edge wear, and an unobtrusive 1/8 inch wide x 3/4 inch long loss at rear flap fold, starting aprox. two inches from upper edge. Hard to imagine a nicer copy in such a bright, clean jacket. The first American printing of Haggard's Holy Flower was 1915.
