About this Item

RARE MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET

An Unsocial Socialist by George Bernard Shaw. New York: The Modern Library. First published by The Modern Library in 1917, this is a 1929 reprint. Here is a very attractive copy of a rare Modern Library title. Bound in purple/red balloon cloth (spine #5). Very short-lived binding style, in use 1929 - Spring 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 blind stamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped.

The book is NEAR FINE. Solid binding, very bright gilt, bright matching purple/red topstain. Contents are very clean with no writing in text other than owners signature on inside front board. Only minor flaw is slight foxing on text block. GORGEOUS!

The dust jacket is NEAR FINE - slightest of chipping on top and bottom spine. Otherwise extremely clean and bright! The back of the dust jacket lists 159 titles matching a 1929 printing. 95 cent price present and bright on inside flap. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector.

HARD TO FIND MODERN LIBRARY EDITION IN DUST JACKET.
