First edition, first printing (without '11' in imprint); 8vo; author's clipped signature tipped to half-title, illustrations by A. Frederics, ex libris to verso of half-title, offsetting to first and last leaf, minor spotting to title page; publisher's grey cloth boards, panelled in black to upper boards, gilt lettering to spine, spine slightly tanned and gently cocked, rubbing to corners and spine tips, else very good. Three Men in a Boat is considered an important work of the Victorian comic texts, affording the reader a genuine insight into the morals and social mores of the period. It shares this status with George Grossmith's The Diary of a Nobody, though Three Men in a Boat is less targeted in its satire of class differences and social pretensions.
