First edition, first printing, [first state] of Joseph Conrad's first book. Publisher's original olive green cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Top edge gilt, deckled fore and bottom edge. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some bumping to the spine tips and corners, the cloth lightly marked and darkened to the board edges and spine. The contents, with an ownership name at the top of the title page and spotting and the odd finger mark to the margins, are otherwise clean and without loose or torn pages.
The text is in the first state with missing 'e' and 'of' from the last two lines of text on page 110 (here added by a previous owner in pencil).
