Sobre este artículo
Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1863. Third Edition. Hardcover book bound in the publisher's original full cloth-gilt. 19 cm. [4 blank pp.]; [2] 3-357 pp., [7 blank pp.]. Includes the map of Walden of between pages 306 and 307. Printed in an edition of under 300 copies, this third edition is exceedingly hard to find, especially so in decent condition. The book is in almost near fine condition. Previous owner's inscription present on the title page (From John S. Browne - E.W.C.) as well as their initials at the foot of pages 200 and 300. Hinges tight and uncracked. Light spotting to the front/back matter. Interior pages are mostly clean with some scattered spotting and soiling. Pages 307 onwards show a light stain to the upper fore edge corners. A few pages were roughly cut along their fore edges. A few signatures are lightly shaken and slightly protruding from the book block. Light edge wear/tear, rubbing, soiling to the cover cloth. Overall, a desirable copy of this elusive edition of Thoreau's classic work in handsome, collectible condition.
