Mrs. Dalloway by Woolf, Virginia - 1925

New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1925. First American Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First American edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's orange cloth with paper title label on spine printed in brown. Very Good with light fraying to cloth at crown, light spotting to covers. Glue repairs to front and rear inner hinges, previous owner names to front free endpaper. In a Very Good original dust jacket, designed by Woolf's sister Vanessa Bell. The jacket was once pasted to the pastedowns, leaving a glue mark to them and to the blindside of the flaps. Otherwise, the jacket is rather presentable, with light chipping and toning, a small stain to the top edge of the rear panel, and a chip to the top of the front panel which has been reattached with Japanese tissue from the blindside. The author's best-known work, which follows a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares to host a party later that evening.
