First American Edition (first printing), issued two weeks after the original English edition. Crown 8vo. 297pp. Blue cloth lettered in gold at the spine with an ornate gilt-stamped double border. Publisher's maroon top edge stain. Backstrip ends gently bruised, and with a sliver of light discolouration to the cloth there where the dust wrapper is defective. Some light partial toning to the free endpapers. A touch of light spotting to the half-title, title page and to three or four subsequent leaves, and also to several unprinted rear flyleaves, and to occasional margins. Former owner name inked to the head of the front free endpaper. A very good copy in good Vanessa Bell-designed dust wrapper, correctly priced at $2.50. The wrapper is quite toned at the spine panel, with some light dust soiling, a touch of chafing to the natural folds, and with several tiny areas of loss to the spine panel ends and corner tips, and a centimetre of further loss from the head of the front panel (none of this loss impacts any lettering). 10,000 copies of this first American edition were printed.
