MRS. DALLOWAY by WOOLF, Virginia - 1928

New York: The Modern Library, 1928. Octavo. Blue cloth boards, lettered in gilt on spine and on upper cover; top edge blue, white endpapers patterned in grey. Pale blue-grey dust jacket printed in black and dark red. x,294 pp. Lightly sunned on board edges, a negligible mark on upper board, else a very good copy with the bookplate of noted Bloomsbury/Hogarth Press collector William Beekman affixed to front pastedown. Dust jacket is rubbed and nicked, with a price sticker over the original price cents stating, "As of April 15, 1947, the price of Modern Library in U.S.A. is $1.25 a copy. Other markings void. The Modern Library, Inc." It is fair to say this is a later dust jacket. 

First edition, re-impression. Special introduction by the author. Issued December 1928 in The Modern Library of the World's Best Books as Vol. 96; number of copies unknown. The text was printed from Harcourt, Brace's plates, pages i-ix being reset. KIRKPATRICK & CLARKE A9c.
