The Open Boat

Stephen Crane
Heinemann, London · 1898

First Edition. First British edition of this collection of 17 stories. Publisher's primary binding of light tan buckram with lettering in black and orange and illustration (by William Nicholson) to front and rear covers.

Edges uncut. 301pp text followed by 2pp ads for Crane's works and 32pp undated publisher's catalogue. Very slight water-staining at foot of spine and light page-edge foxing but the book is clean, bright and tight. Most uncommon in such nice condition.

Written by Dr Jeremy Parrott, who has the book in his hands. Nothing here is generated from a catalogue record.
