About this Item

Complete set of this incredibly rare only comprehensive edition of the Complete Works of Edith Wharton. This edition reproduces the first editions of each title with previously uncollected shorter works added in Volume 26. Superbly produced like all publications by Rinsen. The original price in 1988 was nearly 300.000 Japanese Yen. The print run was probably around 400 sets maximum. Books are completely unused and unmarked internally and come in the original publishers boxes with the original glassine wrappers. Foxing to the top edges and fore edges of some volumes (typical for books from Japan due to the moist climate). Most of these sets were bought by Japanese institutional libraries in the 1980s and 1990s.
