first edition
1912
by Conrad, Joseph
1912. New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1912. Original dark blue cloth.
First (American) Edition of Conrad's most purely autobiographical work. This American edition was published on January 19, 1912; the English edition, titled SOME REMINISCENCES, was published sometime in January, so precedence is therefore uncertain. Beginning in 1916, all English editions adopted the American title, which had first been suggested by Harper. This copy is in the primary smooth cloth binding, and is in just-about-fine condition (the slightest of rubbing at the corner tips). Supino A15.7.0 (this copy); Cagle A15c, binding a. Provenance: discreet bookplate of the Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino (also, his penciled note appears on the front free endpaper). (Inventory #: 15338)
