The Happy Prince and Other Tales

Book Description

Portland, ME: Thomas Mosher, 1907. Limited Edition/Reprint. Hardcover. Hint of soiling at spine, very minor toning to boards, else tight, bright and unmarred. Slipcase shows moderate shelf/edge wear, rear edge missing, partial splits at two seams, light toning, crease at one fore-edge, else clean. Quarterbound, cream paper (faux-vellum) spine with four raised bands, blue paper boards, cream paper spine label, black ink lettering, overlapped board paper at fore-edge (effectively forms a clamshell close at fore-edge), title page in red ink. 12mo. 87pp. One of 925 copies on Van Gelder paper. While the slipcase shows considerable wear, it served its purpose well as the volume is in unusually good condition (due to construction, it is seldom found as nice as here).
