The Lost World
A. Conan Doyle
Hodder & Stoughton, London · 1912
First Edition. Lovely bright copy of the true first edition of this classic. The London printing [Green & Gibson A37a] which comprised roughly 10,000 copies.
Original blue cloth with lettering and rules in white to front cover + vignette and spine lettering in gilt. 320pp text + numerous plates including the famous tissue-guarded frontis. which shows Doyle in a false beard assuming the persona of Professor Challenger. Minor shelf wear to spine edges and corners but a perfectly sound and internally remarkably clean copy of this iconic work.
Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
