A PERSONAL RECORD
- 1912
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 extremities). Supino A15.7.0; Cagle A15c, binding a. Provenance: bookplate of Alma Zimbalist (née Gluck but actually Reba Feinsohn, 1884-1938), the Romanian-born American opera singer; Gluck married the violinist Efrem Zimbalist Sr., and their son was the actor Efrem Zimbalist Jr.
