About This Item
London : William Heinemann, 1894. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 8" by 5.5". None. A collaborative short novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. This work was written by Stevenson and his step son Lloyd Osbourne. The Ebb Tide was published the same year that Stevenson died. First edition, first issue of this work. Understandably, lacking the original dustwrapper. With publisher's catalogue to the rear of the work dated August 1894, as called for. In original full cloth binding. Externally, smart. Board are faded and slightly age toned. Light rubbing to the extremities and to the joints. Bumping to the head and tail of spine and extremities. Small patches of light rubbing to the spine. Bookseller's blind stamp to the recto of front endpaper, W H Smith. Internally, binding is slightly strained but firm. Pages are slightly age toned to the edges. Light spots to endpapers and the odd spot throughout. Very Good
