New York: Huebsch, 1919.. Yellow cloth, paper spine label. Endsheet map. Light hand soiling to cloth, label tanned, early bookplate on verso of free endsheet, small personal shelf label on rear pastedown, else about very good, without the dust jacket. First edition, with the top stain, the early reading at 86:5 ('lay'), the unbroken title border rule, and the battered type at 251:3. Signed in full by Anderson on the free endsheet in a very early hand, and signed again and bearing his lengthy 1924 inscription on the first blank: "If I have had any individual American thing to say in prose surely it began to say itself in Winesburg. The book was written on certain winter evenings in the loft of an old garage on Cass Street - Chicago. A very happy time for me. Sherwood Anderson Jan 14 - 1924." The first line of the inscription was eradicated at an early point and is now very faint, but may have read "My dear Martin...." An appealing copy of what by any measure is one of the fundamental books of our national literature of the past century, and a work exerting an influence matched by few other prose works on contemporary and succeeding generations of writers. Inscribed copies are no longer common. SMITH A-243. JOHNSON HIGH SPOT, p.14.

Westwood, NJ: Kindle Press. Very Good+ with no dust jacket. 1971. Limited/Numbered Edition. Hardcover. Common to this edition, the spine is quite sunned compared to the dark green half cloth, but gilt lettering remains bright. A pinpoint speck to the front cover's paper. The slipcase has minor wear to corners, the tail is bumped.; Sir Walter Scott's arguably best short story of the rough life of two cattle drivers in Scotland, privately printed in celebration of his bicentennial birthday. Copy 242 of an edition of 680 and signed on the colophon by Coleman O. Parsons who wrote an extensive Foreword for this edition. Frontispiece is a fanciful lion with spread claws, printed in red. The front pastedown bears a portrait of Scott, but I'm partial to the frontis, instead. Text block trimmed at the head edge. Printed by Meriden Gravure on Hale Paper's mould-made rag paper designed by F. T. Jackson and bearing a facsimile of Sir Walter Scott's signature of 1827. Bound by A.…
