Hardcover. Condition: Poor. No Jacket. Reference Copy. A Poor 8vo Blue Ribbon Books hardcover (1929 copyright by Harcourt, Brace and Company). Missing its dust jacket. Modest condition grade because of patches of black staining--probably book mold--on the pages' bottom edge that bleeds into the bottom margin of some pages. The moisture exposure has also caused gentle riffling and an occasionally light stain line in the lower third of the contents, plus a disturbance in the sheen in the lower half of the boards. The rear paste-down has a small bookseller label and small paper tears in the hinge/gutter. In other respects, a G hardcover with contents (x + 336 pp., + a frontispiece and 19 additional drawings) that appear mark-free, complete, and securely bound. Black cloth with spine gilt lettering and a blind stamped decoration on the upper board. Bumped and/or well-rubbed bottom corner tips; bumped spine head and tail edges. No ex-library markings. **Extra charges to cover shipping costs may apply to an order requesting expedited and/or international shipping because of the size and weight of this book.

The Limited Editions Club signed limited edition of Henry Fielding's most famous novel. Octavo, bound in full modern morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe / Zaehnsdorf with gilt titles to the spine, all edges gilt, gilt inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, title page vignette, illustrated throughout. Boldly signed by illustrator Alexander King on the colophon page at the rear. One of 1,500 numbered copies, this is number 1139. In fine condition. Introduction by J.B. Priestley. Illustrations by Alexander King. Henry Fielding (1707â"1754) was a seminal figure in the development of the English novel, whose works combined satirical wit, moral inquiry, and formal innovation. Trained as a playwright and later serving as a magistrate, Fielding brought a keen understanding of human behavior and social institutions to his fiction. 'Tom Jones' (1749) is a foundational work of the English novel that exemplifies the eighteenth-century shift toward realist fiction infused with moral and social commentary. Structured as a comic-epic in prose, the novel follows the life and misadventures of the titular foundling, whose journey from rural Somerset to London allows Fielding to satirize various aspects of British society, including class pretensions, legal hypocrisy, and sexual morality. Notable for its omniscient narrator and digressive chapter introductions, Tom Jones combines narrative innovation with Enlightenment values, presenting virtue as a matter of human imperfection rather than rigid moral codes.
