Description: New York: D. Appleton, 1896.

The critical and financial success of "The Red Badge of Courage" decided the controversy and Appleton took the plunge. "Maggie" is now regarded as a landmark in American literature. This is a Very Good copy of the First Edition Thus/First Trade Edition, itself a rare title. Tan cloth binding with blindstamped designs filled in red, black, and gilt; second state Title Page. Clean text; 158 pages with 12 pages of publisher's adverts in the rear. The covers show moderate wear and soiling; the spine is darkened; the rear gutter is craked but holding. No dustjacket; in an archival plastic protector. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. First Thus. Hard Cover. Very Good/No Jacket.
