NY: Doubleday, 1982. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Stated First Edition. Not Doubleday's brightest time bindery wise. While not a book club it looks so, inexpensively made. Luckily the item has remained sound if cosmetically challenged. The main flaw is notable cocking (slant of spine, as though one board is forward of the other) not the worst I've seen, perhaps in the moderate range. Also the spine and a small portion of the upper front cover are sun lightened. These things aside, text is bright and unmarked, no names penned. Binding quite tight. Boards clean with minimal bumping. *We feel that books offered for internet sale should be described thoroughly and accurately.

Strongly suspect this to be a pirate edition from twixt 1885 and 1905, no date or copyright page per se are seen in text. Suppose, based on this it is possible this is first US appearance? (A client writes and advises that this is the version 1st serialized in the Family Herald.) Some ads appear at the back of the book for the T.B. Peterson line of publications.
