A Russian Princess and a Russian Ghost Story

Descripción

The correct first hardback printing. 1888. All extant copies of the hardbound edition of this book have the legend 'Fify first thousand' printed at the top of the title page - a regular ploy of The hansom Cab Publishing Company. Original pictorial cloth with dramtic illustrations drwan from the text. Bevelled grey/steel blue cloth in very good condition. Lettering to front board and spine panel in very good shape. The text block is clean with just a little foxing to the bottom strip of the prelims. A little shaken but the signatures are still bound in. No cracking o the front or rear hinges. The frontispiece is clean. Octavo, pp. [i-xiii] xiv-xvii [xviii] [19] 20-208 [209-216: blank] Top edge untrimmed. The presumed first hardcover edition of this combined edition. Thought to be one of just a thousand copies. Turnerelli was an extremely popular and highly regarded ghost story writer. N° de ref. del artículo 003920
