Uncle Tom's Cabin

First Edition/Early Reissues (Eightieth and Seventy-Fifth Thousand) in two volumes; A Very Good to Near Fine set housed in a custom slipcase. A handsome and well preserved set of this important work; reportedly, Lincoln said to Ms. Stowe upon meeting her "so this is the little lady who started this great war". The best selling novel of the 19th century and the 2nd best selling book, trailing only the Bible. This copy is in very good to near fine condition with square, tight bindings, original green cloth decorated in gilt, and pages free from markings throughout both volumes. Some soiling to the cloth and rubbed edges, bumped corners, some light foxing and staining to both volumes, embossed bookplates to both pastedowns with PO signatures; overall, a lovely set of this classic work; will be securely wrapped and shipped in a sturdy box.
