First Albatross Edition, 1933 (Volume 65). An exceptional, highly collectible copy of Virginia Woolf's modernist masterpiece in its pioneering paperback format. Famously printed with the explicit copyright restriction line on the front wrapper: "Not to be introduced into the British Empire or the U.S.A." This series holds immense publishing history value, directly influencing the layout, design, and color-coding choices of the subsequent Penguin Books launch. Condition: Beautifully preserved. Square text block, clean pages completely free from foxing or inscriptions. Card covers remain remarkably bright yellow with only minor edge-toning. Spine is firm and uncreased. A true collector's grade example of an fragile pre-war paperback format. Wrapped securely and dispatched via tracked shipping.

Store description
Based in the South West of England, I am an independent dealer dedicated to the weird, the rare, and the nostalgic. My collection bridges the gap between traditional antiquarian books and modern collectables. I specialise in pre-war hardbacks, first and early editions, and vintage pulp fiction with a supernatural or gothic edge. Embracing the evolution of the trade, I also focus heavily on science fiction, fantasy, and pop culture classics, catering directly to the booming millennial and modern collectable markets.…

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
