THE WELL OF LONELINESS

Covici, Friede, Publishers, New York, 1928. This is the third printing of this well-known classic work. It has been nicely rebound in a modernist style, half leather over paper covered boards. The spine is tooled in gilt with red labels. There is no binders stamp or ticket but the binding is of good quality. The leather is a rich purple crushed morocco and the paper covered boards have an abstract angular design. Some slight wear to the extremities and a few small scratches on the paper covered boards but overall a very attractive binding. The text is clean and unmarked. Laid in is an old sales ticket from 1981 from Brick Row Bookshop in San Francisco.
