About This Item
First edition, second state with larger anchor device. Binding fine, jacket neatly split at front upper fold, some perimter chipping but essentially complete. About 2/3 of text pages have old L-shaped water stain at lower outer corner, not affecting text, binding or jacket. Blurb about Conrad on front jacket panel; ad for Nostromo on rear jacket flap. No jacketed copies of either the British or American first editions are recorded in auction records or in the Seeger sale. Very rare.
