WHITE-JACKET;
by Melville, Herman
BAL13662. First edition, first printing with the missigned Q* on page 361 and all other issue points except the six pages of terminal advertisements which are not present. Front hinge starting, leather on joints cracking. Pages have some scattered foxing and discoloration. Pages have been trimmed smaller, probably during the rebinding - one evidence of this is the truncated handwritten inscription on page iii. An attractive volume.
