About this Item

For the Poe collector who has everything. Poe is responsible for writing the preface and introduction to this work, but the rest of the text was written by his Thomas Wyatt who felt the book would sell better under Poe's name. It did in fact sell very well as is indicated by the presence of this second edition.� A good copy, boards a little marked and rubbed, some spotting to the first and last few pages.�.
