First Edition. True first edition in original binding of Conrad's most famous novel, sometimes described as the first major contribution to Modernism. The total printing of the first edition, including the Colonial Issue, was just 2,893 copies [Ehrsam #2188].
Publisher's green cloth with spine and cover lettering and decoration in black and gilt. 451pp. Meticulous professional repair to minor fraying at head and tail of spine using matching cloth. Light foxing passim and more so to last few leaves.
Inner hinges strained but holding. Overall a good or better copy of a classic work that is now increasingly hard to find in its original binding.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
