Contact seller5-star sellerSoft Cover. First Edition. First thus, in original wraps. Starrett (3) asserts that this book was published in 1873, preceding the George Routledge 1874 publication of Cobwebs from an Empty Skull. Joshi and Schultz (A3.b) assert a publication date of 1884, making it a reissue, although the material is slightly different than the… 1874 edition. "Stringing a Bear" is original to this edition. This copy is good only, and in three pieces. The front cover through page 16 are detached from the main page block, and the page block is split the length of the spine at page 128/129. The spine printing is still mostly there and the entire book appears to be in one piece until it is handled. A scarce item in the Bierce canon.

First Edition, preceding the US edition. Illustrated title page. 12mo. Purple cloth with gilt demon on front board and spine. 197. Upper hinge just very slightly shaken, and some light wear to the binding, including a small light coloured spot on the front cover, but a tight and bright copy of Bierce's first book. The 32 page pu…blisher's catalogue at rear, with one inch torn off the upper corner of the last leaf. London, John Camden Hotten. The first collection of Bierce's writings to appear in book form, published during the author's stay in England (1872-75). The stories, aphorisms (or 'laughorisms'), invented reports and poems are of a particularly morbid and grotesque nature, and are often only saved from complete misanthropy by wit and ironic insight. These last two qualities point towards the talent and reluctant compassion that would manifest themselves in Bierce's later, best-known stories, such as An Occurance at Owl Creek Bridge. Rare.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. no date [1873]. First edition of Bierce's first book, preceding the first American edition. 12mo plum pictorial cloth stamped in gilt and blind with the gilt devil on the front cover and spine. The title engraving shows a corpulent man roasting a baby over a spit. From the preface: "The atrocitie…s constituting this 'cold collation' of diabolisms are taken mainly from various Californian journals. They are cast in the American language, and liberally enriched with unintelligibility. I have been assisted by my scholarly friend Mr. Satan. While the plan of the work is partly my own, its spirit is wholly his; and this illustrates the ascendancy of the creative over the merely imitative mind. I shall be content with the profit." Ironically, Bierce was never paid for this work. Spine tips worn but complete and sound with the very fragile endpapers (the front free endpaper frayed at the edges) and the 30-page list of ads at the rear. Covers rubbed but the gilt devils still prominent. A very good copy of this notoriously fragile book. Very scarce thus. 0.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in… our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.
