THE FIEND'S DELIGHT. By "Dod Grile."

London: John Camden Hotten, 1873. Plum-brown cloth, decorated in gilt. Rebacked, with the original backstrip laid down, fore-corners a bit worn and cloth a bit rubbed, small spot to fore-edge in latter portion of text (mainly in the 32pp. catalogue), early ink inscription on half- title, once tipped-in bookplate now laid in. A sound copy of an uncommon book. First edition of Bierce's first separate publication, preceding the American issue that consisted of Hotten sheets under A.L. Luyster's imprint. In spite of the above noted detractions, this is not too bad a copy of a book often seen in dilapidated condition. BAL 1096. STARRETT 1. WRIGHT II:298 (US edition). (Inventory #: WRCLIT52054)
