About this Item

EARLY MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET The Ordeal of Richard Feverel by George Meredith. New York: The Modern Library, 1927 - this is an early reprint from 1930. Here is a nice copy of an early Modern Library title. Bound in red balloon cloth (spine #5). Very short-lived binding style, in use only for a short time in 1929 to the spring of 1930. This gold-heavy design was planned before the 1929 crash, and was quickly deemed too expensive for Depression-era book publishing. The gold torchbearer was replaced with a blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. The book is NEAR FINE. Solid binding, very bright gilt, bright matching red topstain. Contents are very clean with no owner's signature or other writing in text. Neat book plate on inside front board. Slight foxing to front text block. The dust jacket is very good - slight chipping on top and spine and some soiling to spine and front cover. Otherwise clean and bright! The back of the dust jacket lists mentions 169 titles matching a 1930 printing and a very early reprint. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector. **I WILL BE LISTIING OVER 400 COLLECTIBLE, RARE, OR SIGNED MODERN LIBRARY EDITIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS FROM 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE COLLECTING AROUND THE WORLD - PLEASE VISIT MY SELLERS PAGE TO VIEW THEM ALL**.
