Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1941. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good-/Fair. First Edition, same date of 1941 on title and copyright pages, no additional printings; grey/beige cloth, vg- (cocked; top edge darkened; spine ends and corners bumped; boards soiled; discoloration to eps from dj) in a fair first-state dj. Apparently no copies better than about 'good' of this dj exist, due to its ill-advised design. This one has the window, with rippled edges, still attached to the black paper at the bottom and the left side towards the spine (with some tears). The top of the front panel is missing, and the front flap (with $2.00 price) is detached. Elsewhere there are many chips and tears, but the text (blurb by Louis Untermeyer) on the rear panel is intact; tears repaired on inside by non-acidic Filmoplast. 183 pp.

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. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
