Absalom, Absalom

William Faulkner

Verlag: Random House, 1936

8vo, black cloth with gilt titles and stamped red lines, red topstain, 384pp, foldout map of Yoknapatawpha County to rear. First trade edition, following the signed limited publication of 300 copies. 2.50 price to dust jacket, EH code and date of 1936 to copyright and title pages. Dust jacket is unfortunately tape repaired at spine, with a few tape marks present across spine and at spine edge of rear panel, though this presentation is rather concealed by age darkening and only faintly visible in mylar. AIGA Book Clinic Honor sticker to front panel, as the book was awarded for its iconic George Salter designed dust jacket upon publication in November 1936. The spine of dust jacket is heavily toned, chipping across all edges of panels, creasing to front panel at spine and rubbing and scratch marks to rear panel. Interior is clean, though age toned, cloth showing minimal fading and rubbing. There is an internal horizontal tear to middle of the rear free endpaper. Altogether an attractive copy with sound binding and in an unclipped, still vividly colored dust jacket. Faulkners masterpiece in the saga of the Compson family. A serviceable copy of the first edition of a hallmark in American Literature, housed in in a custom cloth slipcase. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1708552309392
