Stevenson, Robert Louis: The Story of a Lie

Description

Bound in wraparound board, placed inside quarter morocco slipcase; this edition was never published, owing to a dispute over the copyright. This is a set of the original sheets preserved by the printer. The remnant of backstrip indicates that this copy had a wrapper (now missing). As the book was never published such a wrapper would have been merely protective. Previous owners’ book plates inside of boards plus description of book; binding is cracking near center, some wear to slipcase
