Beschreibung

VERY RARE EARLY MODERN LIBRARY EDITION WITH DUST JACKET The Death of the Gods by Dmitri Merejkowski. New York: The Modern Library, 1929 - this is an early reprint from 1930. Here is a PRISTINE copy of a popular Modern Library title. Bound in red balloon cloth (spine #6). Very short-lived binding style, in use only for a short time in 1930. This gold-heavy design was planned before the 1929 crash, and was quickly deemed too expensive for Depression-era book publishing. The gold torchbearer was replaced with a blindstamped torchbearer, and in 1930, the gold tree was dropped. This is the short lived binding type 6 with the gold tree dropped but with the gold torchbearer on the front. The book is FINE. Solid binding, very bright gilt, bright matching red topstain. Contents are very clean with no owner's signature or other writing in text. GORGEOUS! APPEARS UNREAD AND UNOPENED. The dust jacket is NEAR FINE - slight chipping on top and spine and three small stains on front cover. Otherwise extremely clean and bright! This book and dust jacket was protected from the elements - near pristine! The back of the dust jacket lists mentions 169 titles matching a 1930 printing and a very early reprint. Now protected in an archival-quality dust jacket protector. VERY HARD TO FIND FIRST MODERN LIBRARY EDITION IN DUST JACKET IN THIS CONDITION! **I WILL BE LISTIING OVER 400 COLLECTIBLE, RARE, OR SIGNED MODERN LIBRARY EDITIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS FROM 30 YEARS OF ACTIVE COLLECTING AROUND THE WORLD - PLEASE VISIT MY SELLERS PAGE TO VIEW THEM ALL**.
