First Edition/Limited to 750 Signed Copies (this being #289); A Near Fine book in Slipcase as issued. SIGNED by the author to a limitation page. This is the true first edition, issued a few days before the first trade edition; originally issued in a glassine jacket and slipcase (this copy lacking the glassine jacket but retaining the slipcase). This copy is in near fine condition with a square, tight binding, clean white pages, and crisp gold lettering to the spine; the book shows just slight fading to the spine, a faint scratch to the back board, a small area of foxing to the top exterior text block, and a PO name and address to the front free paper. Housed in a good slipcase that shows sunning and rubbing to the edges and is detached at the bottom edge and spine, but still intact with book inside. Overall, a better than most copy of this classic piece of literature, by the author of "Of Human Bondage" among others; somewhat scarce in this condition and with the slipcase. Not remaindered, not ex-library; in a protective Mylar sleeve and will ship carefully wrapped in a sturdy box.
