VICTORY. An Island Tale
- 1915
1915. Garden City NY: Doubleday, Page & Company, 1915. Original blue limp leather decorated in gilt.
First Edition, second printing, issued about 30 days after the first. (The first printing was in navy blue cloth, and this much-scarcer second, priced a bit higher, was in this "Deep Sea" format of blue limp leather.) This is a good-to-very good copy (some wear, especially at the edges of the spine). Supino A19.2.0 (this copy); Cagle A19a(2) ("no copy located"). Provenance: small flyleaf blind-stamp of Lindmark's Book Shop of Poughkeepsie NY -- which in 1963 made international news when the State of NY evicted the business (for a highway bypass), and 131,000 books were stacked on the sidewalk (to be taken by people, to be rained on, and ultimately to be incinerated); paste-down bookplate of Dorothy [Neal] and [Luther] Harris Hiscock (1893-1975) of New York State; front free endpaper verso bookplate of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino (loosely inserted are his notes regarding collation etc.).
