The Apostate

Chicago: Charles H. Kerr, 1906 [but after 1915]. First Kerr Edition. 12mo (17.5cm); photo-illustrated wrappers, stapled; 30,[2]pp. Mild wear to extremities, some faint, scattered foxing to upper text edges, else a bright, Near Fine copy. WOODBRIDGE 1043 (mistakenly identifying this Kerr edition as the first printing). However, see BAL 11897, for the following note: "...advertised in Appeal to Reason. (Girard, Kansas) Oct. 27, 1906...there were many reprints; the earliest (probably not before 1912) was issued by Charles H. Kerr & Company's Co-Operative..." In fact, the address given for Charles H. Kerr on the rear wrapper dates this edition to 1915 or later, supporting Blanck's assertion of priority. (Inventory #: 58584)
