Kipling, Rudyard. They. Macmillan, London, 1905.
Price: US$50.00 + shipping
Condition: Near Fine
Description: A bit of darkening to the upper edge of the book itself, in the second state. The extremely uncommon dust jacket displays some chips and tears particularly along the top edge. There is an irregular chip to the top edge, beginning about half way across. At its deepest it penetrates roughly one inch downward. the chip becomes shallower at the top of the spine, perhaps one half inch deep, and then meanders, again irregularly across the back panel. At a point near the spine it spikes downward about an inch and a half. The spine of the jacket is darkened and there is very modest chipping at the lower edge. The jacket, clearly a lifelong companion of the book, lists titles that were published after ' They '. One title was not published until 1912. One can logically conclude that unsold copies of the first were mated with more contemporary jackets by Macmillan years later. The first British edition, published by Mamillan in 1905.

Kipling, Rudyard. THEY'. , 1905.
Price: US$225.00 + shipping
Description: With Illustrations by F.H. Townsend. London: Macmillan and Co., 1905. Original white cloth with gilt vignette, with dust jacket. First Separate Edition (having first appeared, unillustrated, in TRAFFICS AND DISCOVERIES the year before). This is an allegory of a limbo of lost children tended by a blind woman, children who are not yet ready for Heaven and come back for a space to inhabit earth. The agony of the past, the yearning for Josephine [Kipling's daughter, who had died of pneumonia at the age of seven in 1899], the grief for all dead children are to be found in THEY. [Birkenhead] 'THEY' is printed on the recto only of each leaf, and is beautifully illustrated with 15 Townsend color plates. This copy is of the second issue, with the printer's name "Bemrose & Sons Ltd." on p. 80. It is in fine condition, with scarcely any of the cover soil typical for this white cloth; this is largely due to the presence of the very scarce dust jacket (likewise second state -- WITH the Macmillan logo on the front panel, and with different ads on the rear panel). The jacket is very good, with a bit of loss at the spine ends (affecting only the price at the very foot). Richards A203; Stewart 303.
