MARQUAND, John P.
The Late George Apley. A Novel in the Form of a Memoir
First edition (our research indicates that the alleged issue point is spurious, and that "Lovely Pearl", p. 19, line 1, appeared in the first edition, and the co-author of the reference book that first suggested otherwise has confirmed this). Octavo, cloth with gilt lettering. Pages with faint vertical lines caused by over-lubrication of the presses, a flaw that virtually all copies seem to share, bookplate and newspaper clipping tipped-onto front paste-down, slight offsetting to front free endpaper, spine a bit cocked, covers slightly rubbed, but still a very good copy. Signed by Marquand. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
