Walt Whitman:

Specimen Days in America. [World's Classics no. 371 / CCCLXXI ]

Oxford: Oxford University Press, [1931]. First 'World's Classics' printing. Hardcover. xiv, 317pp: with the silk bookmark. The previous owner was neat, but has neatly marked the text at pp 240 & 242, and I have found and have straightened about a dozen of his neatly dog-eared corners. There is also a tiny mark at p.95. Contents otherwise clean and unmarked and in very good order. In the pre-1950s World's Classics binding of smooth navy cloth, decorated in blind, spine titled in gilt: bright and fresh, with two pale marks to the upper board, slight blunting to lower corners and slight scuffs to spine ends. Not a common title in this edition. Very Good. Item #19314121
