Of Human Bondage
London: William Heinemann Ltd, 1915.
First British edition, first impression. (Error "help" on 257 uncorrected as was apparently the case in the entire first printing; state with ads at rear, probably the first as per Stott Maughaminia Books #14.) 648, 16 (ads) pp. Original bluish green cloth lettered in gilt. A Very Good+ unsophisticated copy with clean cloth and sharp, bright gilt; hinges at front and rear starting, textblock somewhat fallen, a little foxing at edges and light wear; pages still quite bright. Housed in a custom blue cloth slipcase with leather title label, lettered in gilt, spot of wear to label.
The British author's masterwork, which inspired three films. Uncommon in such nice shape in its British edition, which followed the American edition by a single day.
