Mark Twain's (Burlesque) Autobiography and First Romance
- Blindstamped Cloth
- New York: Sheldon & Company, 1871
New York: Sheldon & Company, 1871. First Edition. Blindstamped Cloth. Very Good Plus. First issue without ad on copyright page of this early Twain publication, with two humorous and farcical short stories that Twain published at the start of his career. The "Autobiography" is a parody of the form and its family tree has no relation to the actual Clemens family. 8vo. 19.5 by 13 cm. 46, [2] pp. Abundantly illustrated with woodcuts, sometimes full page. Bumped corners. Some bleached spots on the cloth and and other soiling to the cover. The leaves are lightly age toned, with occasional light soiling. Overall a rather clean and attractive copy.
