Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Harry Clarke. Very Good. Item #4257
New York: Brentano's, [c. 1923]. Early edition with no additional printings on copyright. Quarto. 412 pages. 32 plates including frontis, 8 of which are full-color and tipped in. Publisher's black cloth-covered boards with illustrated title card and gilt lettering to spine. Missing dustjacket, but now in an impressive vernacular psychedelic sewn fabric cover (removable, but why would you?). Covers bumped at corners and spine ends with some superficial chewing to cloth. Spine faded, with a small bit of writing in red grease pen. Front board opens shakily but is holding soundly at center without cracks to joint or hinge. Pages a bit toned with a few spots of foxing, else unmarked. Page binding is sound.
