EDWARD THOMAS : Lafcadio Hearn. A biography

Constable 'Modern Biographies' series, London, 1912

First Edition, second issue, with a leaf of advertisements tipped-in before the half-title but otherwise identical to the first issue (which was itself preceded by the American issue, published six days earlier). Small 8vo. 96pp including five pages of publisher's advertisements. Green cloth, gilt lettered and decorated at the spine, and with blind-stamped lettering and decoration to the upper board. Portrait frontispiece. Free endpapers very lightly toned and with a tiny hint of spotting to occasional leaf margins. A virtually fine copy in a somewhat distressed example of the uncommon thin paper dust wrapper, missing the lower half of the spine panel, with several further tiny fractions of loss from two or three extremities, and the front panel-spine panel joint really quite tender. Thomas' biography of the celebrated Japanophile; uncommon in a dust wrapper. See Eckert p.224-25.. Book. Book Condition: Near Fine. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: Fair
