First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Stated First Edition, first issue binding. On a separate piece of New Yorker stationary is typed 'With the compliments of H. W. Ross.' (Harold Wallace Ross was an American journalist who co-founded The New Yorker magazine in 1925 with his wife Jane Grant, and was its editor-in-chief until his death.) Due to issues around the spine, I have priced this book at a considerable discount to most other first editions in first issue bindings. The spine is solidly bound, but some of the black material has lifted leaving the boards exposed. Some of the material can be glued back into place but I think some of it may be lost. It's a little hard to tell. There are also a couple of dents on the side of the spine and some loss of material at the top edge of the spine.The top and bottom edges of the spine have rub-through. The covers are mostly clean. There is a small light spot off the front bottom edge. There is some toning off the top and middle edges. The cover edges look pretty good. All four corners have spots of rub-through. I don't see any soiling on the page edges. The middle and bottom ones are deckled or rough-cut. They did a very good job, two late pages have the slightest bit of jaggedness in two spots. The book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The interior of the book is in very good condition. There are a few teeny tiny amber spots just off the top edge of the copyright and dedication pages. I'm not finding any soiling on any of the pages. I'm not seeing any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners, no placeholder creases. There aren't any markings in the book. No attachments of any kind. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere. The first edition had two bindings, with the blue and silver city skyline binding being the less common, issued in only 1,392 copies. 'In 1978, White was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize, citing his letters, essays and the full body of his work.' He also received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1963.'.
