Sobre este artículo
Chicago: Herbert S. Stone, 1901. First Authorized American Edition . Pictorial Cloth. Near Fine. 7.5" x 5. Chicago: Herbert S. Stone, 1901. First Authorized American Edition (after two pirated editions) of Shaw's first novel. 7.5" x 5", 376 pp. First State binding of chocolate brown cloth with black and white imprinting. Top page edges gilt, other edges uncut. Quaint old bookseller's stamp affixed to ffep, for those who collect those. Other than light dustwear and edgewear, a flawless copy, Near Fine. Certainly one of the best available copies of the first American edition of George Bernard Shaw's first novel, in its earliest state. "Cashel Byron's Profession" is Shaw's droll tale of a professional prizefighter and his adventures in life. Included at the end is Admirable Bashville (or, Constancy Unrewarded), the three-act play version of the novel, and a nice Shaw essay on boxing, "Modern Prizefighting". L32
