Moderate bumping to bottom corners; wear at spine ends, with short split at crown; toning to textblock edges. About very good. Signed by Pirandello at ffep. First American edition of the most successful and best-known novel by Italian writer Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), recipient of the 1934 Nobel Prize in Literature. Translated from the Italian by Arthur Livingston. This copy signed by Pirandello at the front endpaper, and incredibly scarce thus. Housed now in a custom-cut archival mylar jacket. N.B. More commonly seen first edition copies are bound in green cloth, which share the same copyright information but without the "This edition of limited to 500 copies" statement found here; presumably, this numbered edition preceded the later trade edition.
