New York: Harper & Brothers, 1905. Hardcover. Very Good. First American edition. Illustrated with black and white plates. Decorative red cloth stamped in white and gilt with illustrated paper label on front board. A signature of pages slightly offset when bound, spine sunned, very good lacking the scarce dustwrapper. This novel made the US best-selling list for the year 1905 and was the first time the New York Times had recorded any author, female or male, as having two top-ten books in a single year.
