Hardcover. 16mo (6.5" x 4"), modern half morocco, gray paper over boards, marbled edges. viii, 9-187. CONDITION: Good, faint dampstain to upper edge of title, small brown stains to inmost sections of upper margins of some leaves. First English edition. Originally published in wrappers. Scarce. "An incident on which the jumping frog story is based actually occurred at or near Angel's Camp and was reported in a Sonora newspaper in 1853. Mark Twain heard the story from an old bartender named Ben Coon in Angel's Camp in early 1865. His brief notes indicate that the frog's owner was called Coleman and that the amount of money wagered was $50. Shortly after leaving Angel's Camp, Mark Twain began writing his own version of the story, but it took him half a year and several false starts to find a satifactory frameowrk."

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. First Edition. 12mo, 198pp. A very good copy, rebound in blue cloth over sturdy boards, with new endpapers, and original front and rear board cloth laid down, mercifully retaining the gilt-stamped image of a frog at the bottom left of the front board. Though lacking the advertising leaf, the type is unbroken on pp. 66 and 198, indicating that this is one of the ~1000 copies from the very first print run of Mark Twain's very first book. Very mild foxing and a few marginal stains, but the contents are mostly clean. Not perfect, but a rather handsome copy of an essential Twain rarity; harder to obtain than any of his more popular books. BAL 3310. Zamorano 80 (#17).

Discreetly rebacked with the original backstrip laid over. First edition with unbroken type on pages 21, 61 and 198 and the inserted advertisement at the front. Perhaps no short sketch of Twain's so quickly won wide popularity as did 'The Jumping Frog.' Calaveras County, California, is known to thousands who have never seen the Golden State simply because of this gem of humor. This little volume, the author's first published book, came into being under the sponsorship of Charles Henry Webb - who also edited it under his pseudonym of 'John Paul.' To accompany 'The Jumping Frog' he chose twenty-six other sketches. Zamorano Eighty: 17. Wheat Books 43. Cowan p.49. BAL 3310.

Book First Edition
Publisher's cloth. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Original green cloth with gilt-stamped spine and front cover. Bevelled edges. With gilt-stamped frog in the lower left corner of the front board, and the same image blindstamped on the rear board. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING, with unbroken type on pages 21, 66, and 198. The preliminary ad has been excised, but the remaining stub is clearly a different buff color from the surrounding pages, which is known to characterize the leaf. One of 1000 copies of the first printing of Twain's first book. There are a few small rents to the cloth on the front board. The tips of the lower forecorners are worn through, and there is a short split to the surface cloth only at the foot of the front joint. Internally, there is a spot or two of foxing to the first couple of pages, and the front hinge is perhaps just a little tender. A bright, Very Good, and unrestored copy of a title that is usually found rebacked or recased. BAL 3310.
