Decently clean and well bound copy of this scarce First Edition (with full number line per Random House methods) of the first collection of stories published posthumously by Dumas, who was fatally shot at just 33 years old. This copy comes from the home of tobacco smokers, though this volume doesn't care a particularly noticeable odor to this booksellers nose, it must be mentioned. There is a faint toning around the margins of the white back panel of the jacket as well as the top edge of the inner rear flap, possibly from tobacco. Otherwise the jacket is bright, clean, and in great shape, with a small scratch across the author portrait on the back cover and some other very minor scuffing. Teeny spot stain on the verso of the front panel, not at all visible on the front. Binding solid, tight, sound. Interior is bright, clean, free of any marks at or damage. Two teeny tiny dot stats to the top of the outer page block, very negligible. Altogether a very solid and attractive copy of this scarce work.…
