About This Item
New York: Heritage Press. Very Good+ in Good+ dust jacket. 1941. Hardcover. Contains all 29 of Poe's short stories. This copy in organge, blue and whitish squares (not completely sure if the whitish portion is part of the design) on covers with black spine and gilt lettering. The spine is lightly sun faded. There are two owner names (appears to be the same person--one dated 1944 and another that appears to reflect her married name is dated 1962). This was probably printed in 1944 based on the Sandglass No. 3H; however, I have not seen a reference to a cover with the squares on it (this book seems to have been issued with several different covers over the years). The gray slipcase is complete, but split at seams.Includes the Sandglass brochure (3H) loosely laid in. "Photogravures of the original aquatints by William Sharp" which were originally published with the Limited Editions Club edition. ; B&W Illustrations; 8vo, 8"- 9" tall; 366 pages .
