About this Item

VERY RARE FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET The Song of Songs by Hermann Sudermann. New York: The Modern Library, 1929 FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION STATED. Here is a very attractive FIRST PRINTING of a rare Modern Library title. Bound in purple 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 blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. The book is NEAR FINE. Solid binding, very bright gilt, bright matching purple topstain. Contents are very clean with no owner's signature or other writing in text. Only flaw is a small rip in the preceding the title page. 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 mentions 169 titles matching a 1929 printing and FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector. VERY HARD TO FIND FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION IN DUST JACKET. **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**.
