New York: Huebsch, 1919.. Yellow cloth, paper spine label. Endsheet map. Light hand soiling to cloth, label tanned, early bookplate on verso of free endsheet, small personal shelf label on rear pastedown, else about very good, without the dust jacket. First edition, with the top stain, the early reading at 86:5 ('lay'), the unbroken title border rule, and the battered type at 251:3. Signed in full by Anderson on the free endsheet in a very early hand, and signed again and bearing his lengthy 1924 inscription on the first blank: "If I have had any individual American thing to say in prose surely it began to say itself in Winesburg. The book was written on certain winter evenings in the loft of an old garage on Cass Street - Chicago. A very happy time for me. Sherwood Anderson Jan 14 - 1924." The first line of the inscription was eradicated at an early point and is now very faint, but may have read "My dear Martin...." An appealing copy of what by any measure is one of the fundamental books of our national literature of the past century, and a work exerting an influence matched by few other prose works on contemporary and succeeding generations of writers. Inscribed copies are no longer common. SMITH A-243. JOHNSON HIGH SPOT, p.14.

Description:
v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British.
