First edition

Hardcover, London: Kama Shastra Society, 1883. Very Good+. Bound in full vellum. Fifth edition. According to Penzer, the first edition was not bound as a book, it was published in parts. The second, third, fourth, and fifth editions were all bound as hardcover books in full vellum and all are very close in appearance. All are dated 1883, but it is highly likely that at least the fourth and fifth editions were printed later.
