About this Item
London: T. Fisher Unwin, 1898. 14 pp undated ads. Original dark green cloth. First English Edition of Conrad's fourth book -- his first collection of short stories (including "An Outpost of Progress," a Congo tale anticipating his later "Heart of Darkness"). The American edition by Scribner's is believed to have come out about ten days earlier. For this U.K. edition Cagle estimates a total printing of about 1250 copies (though Wise guessed 3000) -- including some later copies with no gilt top edge and laid endpapers, plus some copies that were remaindered with a cancel title page and a still later binding (the book did not sell well). This copy is in the primary state (with top edge gilt and wove endpapers), and is in near-fine condition (a few short nicks in the spine ends). TALES OF UNREST is becoming increasingly uncommon in this condition. Supino A4.7.0; Cagle A4c.1. Seller Inventory # 15117
