Joseph Conrad; John Galsworthy [Intro.]. Laughing Anne & One Day More: Two Plays. Doubleday, Page & Company, Garden City, 1925.

Price: US$30.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: Garden City: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1925. Stated First Edition. Small Octavo; xvii + 124pp. Navy blue boards with gold lettering on spine and title reversed out against framed gold ground on front panel, including small nautical device, which is repeated on half-title page. Missing dust jacket. Spine nudged crown and foot; spine lettering darkened almost to illegibility; front panel gilding still bright. Textblock faintly and evenly tanned throughout; otherwise clean, unmarked, and square. Handsome volume preserves two of Conrad's three dramatizations based on his own tales. Galsworthy's Introduction summarizes the later critical consensus with left-handed praise: "It is exceedingly fortunate that we have in this volume examples of Conrad's dramatic art, which disclose at once what he did, and what he could have done; yet convince us, perhaps, that he was right in not further sacrificing the novel to the drama."

Price: US$180.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: xvi, [iv], 120 pp. A near fine copy in blue cloth, gilt emblems. Both binding and text block are rock solid, tight, clean, and unmarked, AAA all the way. The very good price clipped jacket has done its job well in protecting the book, but in the process has suffered subtle toning to spine and foredges. Enough said of offerings which speak loudly for themselves. Acquire, enjoy, and share what the self-actualized author has discovered in his extensive intellectual travels to prepare this very informative writing for public edification. Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item of 120 rivetting pages. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a permanent character lacking in transitory electronic renderings.

Jacket is VG with some age markings, light soiling, minor tiny paper loss at extremeties and some short edgetears. A most uncommon title to find in dust jacket.

Top edge gilt, blue cloh with gilt name and rule on front board.
