Item description from seller

A previously unpublished novel - first edition in Japan vellum binding. ***Very good in vellum-backed boards with gilt titles to the spine and floral gilt border to the front board, with blind border to the back board. The boards show significant marks and browning commensurate with age and handling over the last 95 years but are undamaged. Spine browned but the gilt titles are still bright. Edges and corners of boards slightly rubbed. Head and tail of spine slightly rubbed and creased. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good with no ownership marks. The pages are clean with virtually no foxing, but please note that most gatherings remain uncut. There is also a closed tear at the top of the page opposite the title page (please see scans). No other creases or tears. No dustwrapper. ***198mm x 135mm. 146 pages. ***'Charlotte Nicholls (née Brontë; 21 April 1816 - 31 March 1855), commonly known as Charlotte Brontë was an English novelist and poet, and was the elder sister of Emily, Anne and Branwell Brontë. She is best known for her novel "Jane Eyre", which was published under the pseudonym Currer Bell. "Jane Eyre" was a success on publication, and has since become known as a classic of English literature.' (Wiki) ***An uncommon first edition of this early work by Charlotte Bronte, written when she was just 18 years old. An attractive edition, of interest to collectors of the work of the Brontës. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…
