From the collector's introduction: "The three aims of my Collection became fixed in my mind, and these three aims were Completeness, Condition, and Association. I suppose my Collection of books is the completest, I suppose the condition is, generally speaking, the finest, and I suppose its Association value is really the closest of any collection. I remember unfolding to Conrad my wish that he should write special notes for me in his books as I acquired them and I remember how willingly he fell in with that idea, and how, with that extraordinary friendliness and charm which always characterised him, he promised to do what I wanted." Wrappers somewhat darkened, two small tears to spine, otherwise Good. Priced in black ink. N° de ref. del artículo ABE-29475
