Sobre este artículo
1896. New York: D. Appleton and Company, 1896. 10 pp undated ads. Original green cloth decorated in red and black.
First American Edition of Conrad's second book, issued as #198 in Appleton's "Town and Country Library." Books in the "Town and Country Library" were issued in three formats: this standard one in cloth (priced at $1.00), one for half that price in wrappers, and a deluxe one (actually a separate printing) in half leather. "Because it was to be included in the family-oriented Town and Country Library, this edition was severely bowdlerized, by eliminating all scenes referring to love or sex" [Supino]; the editors inserted their own linking passages. This is a fine, bright copy. Supino A2.10.0 and Plate 2 (this copy); Cagle A2b.2. Provenance: discreet bookplate of Conrad bibliographer David J. Supino.
