Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn
New York: Charles L. Webster and Co., 1885. FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE. Hardback.
First Edition, First State copy in the original green cloth of the Twain classic. All First State points: 1) Frontispiece of Twain with cloth visible under bust; 2) "Heliotype Printing Co." imprint; 3) P.9 (Contents): Chapter VI -- "Huck Decided"; "Him and Another Man" listed incorrectly on p.88 rather than p.87; P.57, 11 lines from bottom: "with the was" rather than "with the saw"; P.155: Final '5' off-balance; P.143: First word, the letter "L" missing from "Col".
This unique spectacular First Edition copy is even more special as it was the copy of legendary actor James Cagney, and bears his bookplate.
A much nicer, more presentable copy than usually seen. A much better than very good copy indeed.
