About this Item

Previous owner's rubber name stamp. Foxing to dust-jacket. A 30mm closed tear to rear panel of dust-jacket. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover.; xxvi, [4], 300, [4 (blank)] pages. Red boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 196 x 127mm. "In 1911, when Bierce was editing his Collected Works, he issued 'The Devil's Dictionary' in book form, and it quickly became a minor classic. But another typical Bierce mystery surrounds this volume. Its present editor, Professor Hopkins of the Arizona State University, happened to notice a curious discrepancy in Bierce's Introduction, and was led to undertake some detective work." - from dust-jacket blurb.
