First Edition, Second issue with illustration on verso of half title and pages IX, X, & XII instead labeled XII, XIII, & XVI. Laid in is a card inscribed "Truly Yours", and SIGNED "Mark Twain". The card is of heavy stock and was previously attached to another sheet of paper, the remains of which are on the verso. A glue stain is present on the bottom edge of the card and very minute amounts of foxing are present on card face. The original cloth covers of the book have had the corners professionally touched up and the original spine is professionally refurbished although still age darkened with the gilt considerably less bright than the front panel. There is an ink name on the front endpaper, the hinges have been stabilized with Japanese paper, and the first contents page has a short tear near the gutter. The pages have light age toning, there is some soiling on the rear pastedown and endpaper, the front endpaper has two small tears and a tiny chip, and there is off setting on the second and third front endpapers from a prior occupant and which bleeds through faintly to the illustration and title page. The binding is still quite solid.

Sobre Trilby & Co. Books
Trilby & Co. Books is located in Northern California. The company was founded years ago by a Shetland Sheepdog named Trilby. Trilby's message to her family was brief and direct - the sale of books would increase disposable income and improve the quality of provisions in her food dish. My name is McTavish (picture above). I am the current CEO of this company, and I approve of her message. Oh, by the way, my speciality is literature, with an emphasis on first editions and signed books.
