A Room with a View
E.M. Forster
Edward Arnold, London · 1908
First Edition. True first edition of what is probably Forster's most popular novel and a 20th century classic. in the original vertically ribbed burgundy cloth lettered in gilt. 324pp +8pp catalogue at rear as required [Kirkpatrick A3]. One of just 2,000 copies and now the scarcest of Forster's 5 major novels.Slight bumping to corners and one dint to fore edge of front cover.
Minor shelf wear and slight sun fading to spine as usual but without the foxing that commonly affects this book. One neat previous owner inscription to front free endpaper. Good or better copy or a rare high-spot of modern literature.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
