Description: First Edition, First Printing with "credentials and apparently" (no "who") at line 16-17 on page 5, and with 20 titles listed opposite the title page (instead of 21 in later issues). The book is bound in the original publisher's blue cloth with some wear to the spine and edges. The pages are clean with NO marks or bookplates. This copy is SIGNED by "Cristopher Morley" on the front endpaper who writes "Many writers have followed the sea, loved it, cursed it, aye, and fought it. But Joseph Conrad seems to me the one who very nearly caught it. C.M. Christopher Morley was the author of over 40 books, many of them published by Doubleday. He was a friend and admirer of Conrad and was one of the founders of the Saturday Review of Literature. The handwriting of Morley in this book resembles his style and in the pen drag of connection of words as in this quote "to me" and "the one" fits other examples of Morley's writing. A unique and collectable copy.
