About This Item
James R. Osgood and Company, 1877. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Signed. Tipped in is a clipped SIGNATURE of Sarah O. Jewett. Light brown cloth with front panel and spine stamped in black and gilt. All edges gilt. Tissue guarded title page in black and red. First issue (or second, as there appears to be no differentiation between the two, BAL 10871) with "was" as the last word in line 16 on page 65 (changed to "so" in third and later printings). The volume is lightly edge rubbed, with a gently toned spine and occasional soiling. The front hinge is just starting and there is mild foxing to the preliminary and terminal pages. An ink name and date is penned to the second endpaper. Overall, a very good copy of the author's first book.

About Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
