JOHN COWPER POWYS : Wood and Stone. A Romance

William Heinemann, London [1917].

First UK edition, an un-noted variant in Heinemann's 'Colonial Library' series, bound in red cloth with black and blind-stamped lettering, borders and floral design - identical to the general Heinemann edition even down to the pagination misprint, but here the cloth and lettering colour varies, and with the text 'Heinemann's Colonial Library' black-stamped to the base of the backstrip. xiv [sic], 722pp. Some fading to the backstrip cloth, and the boards very lightly marked in one or two places. The top edge a little dust soiled, and with some light spotting to the edges. A very good copy, lacking the most uncommon dust wrapper. The author's first novel, which was first printed in the US in 1915, with the English edition published by Heinemann two years later, printed from the US sheets but with a cancel half-title and title page. See Thomas A12 (who does not note this 'Colonial Library' issue). Most uncommon - the only such copy we have come across.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Hardcover. Jacket: No Jacket
