A propos de cet article

VERY RARE FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET Faust by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe. New York: The Modern Library, 1930 FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION STATED. Here is a very attractive FIRST PRINTING of a rare Modern Library title in a great pictorial dust jacket. Bound in green balloon cloth (spine #5) with Kent end papers. Very short-lived binding style, in use 1929 - Spring 1930. This gold-heavy design was planned before the 1929 crash, and was quickly deemed too expensive for Depression-era book publishing. The gold torchbearer was replaced with a blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. This first printing has the blindstamped torchbearer. The book is VERY GOOD+. Solid binding with slight fading, bright gilt on cover and spine, bright matching green topstain. Contents are clean with no writing in text other than owner's super neat signature on ffe. GORGEOUS! The beautiful pictorial dust jacket is VERY GOOD+ - chip on bottom spine and one on bottom front panel otherwise clean and bright! 95 cent price present and bright on inside flap. The back of the dust jacket mentions 185 titles matching a 1930 FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector. VERY HARD TO FIND FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION IN DUST JACKET. **I WILL BE LISTIING OVER 400 COLLECTIBLE, RARE, OR SIGNED MODERN LIBRARY EDITIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS FROM 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE COLLECTING AROUND THE WORLD - PLEASE VISIT MY SELLERS PAGE TO VIEW THEM ALL**.
