About This Item
New York: Sheldon & Company, (1871). First Edition. Hardcover. Professional tissue repair to front hinge before title page and to three page corners (one page corner is clipped). Endpapers, while very closely matching the original, are new but only enhance the appearance of the exterior which is as close to new as one could expect. Superb copy, bright and fresh. Publisher's green cloth, gilt. BAL 3326: First State without ad. Twain's fictional history of his ancestry with anonymous illustrations satirizing Jay Gould and the Erie Railroad scandal.
