Item description from seller

Octavo, pp. [1-8] [1-2] 3-372 [373-376: blank] [note: first and last two leaves are blanks], original decorated black cloth, front panel stamped in blind, spine panel stamped in gold, running Borzoi stamped in blind on rear panel, top edge stained red, fore-edge untrimmed, bottom edge rough trimmed. First U.S. edition. First publication of Traven's own English-language translation of DAS TOTENSCHIFF (1926), his first novel. The novel was first published in English by Chatto & Windus, utilizing an English text prepared by Eric Sutton. The UK edition preceded Knopf's edition by several months, but the first American edition, with text translated and revised by Traven, is the preferred version of the novel. A fine copy in very good printed dust jacket with touch of wear at spine ends and corner tips, some age-darkening to spine panel, some minor general dust soiling, and clipped price. Overall, an attractive example of the jacket, which is uncommon in nice condition. In custom open-face cloth slipcase. (#77517).
