G. Not a first edition but a 1919 reprint courtesy of Macmillan London. Corners bumped, rubbing to edges, mild general evidence of handling and wear. Rubbing becomes fraying at corner tips esp. bottom front. Pushing and rubbing to spine crown and heel. Age together with rubbing at spine corners has resulted in splits and a bit of tearing to the blue cloth thereat. Internally, hinges fore and aft are partly split, affording peeps of the mull; binding somewhat shaken. Small bookseller's sticker to bottom corner of front pastedown (W.H. Smith in Paris). A pencilled notation "LCrit0200" to top of ffep. Some toning to front and end matter, and the glassine protective sheet for the frontispiece has left a perfect shadow in dark toning to the title page. There seems to be a single instance of underlining on p. xiv of Yeats' Introduction, in neat and rather faint colored pencil, to seven consecutive words. Some of the verse numerators are circled in plain pencil: 20, 28, 37, 43, and 48; possibly more although we noticed no others. Otherwise, pages are generally quite clean and clear. SIGNED by Tagore in English on the frontispiece: "Rabindranath Tagore / Oct. 11, 1920 / Paris". At this point in October 1920, Tagore was spending some time in Paris before embarking for America. A previously appreciated, century-old copy of a true literary masterpiece by the first non-Western recipient of the Nobel Prize for literature. …

Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days, often within 24 hours. We ship books well-protected in boxes or padded mailers. There may be an additional cost for items over 2 lbs.
**A word about our shipping rate: ** In comparison to some other sellers, our shipping fees may seem high. We do try to keep our fees in line with current U.S. postal rates and our cost of shipping supplies, both of which increase regularly. The current cost to ship a book weighing up to 1 lb via post office media mail is $4.47. We package books with care, and also use recycled packaging when we can.
U.S. Domestic Priority Mail rates are based on the small flat rate box or flat rate padded envelope. If you choose U.S. Domestic Priority shipping, your rate may be adjusted depending on the size and shape of the book(s) ordered.
The United States Postal Service requires the recipient's full name or a company name. If an order is placed by a purchaser lacking a last name, we will attempt to contact the purchaser by the associated email address to ascertain a last name. In no case will we accept an order, or send a book, without the recipient's last name.
We always issue a tracking number after shipping an order.
International Shipping rates are subject to review, and adjustment before sale is finalized. Orders weighing over 2 lbs will likely require an additional cost.
