London: F. Warne and Co., 1903. First commercially published edition, fourth edition (1903) of The Tale of Peter Rabbit - grey boards - leaf-patterned endpapers. A very good (or better) copy with one neat name to the front endpaper. Crease and breaking of the front pastedown, a few small marks, rubbing to the head and foot of the spine - strengthening to the gutters front and rear. The first trade edition has leaf-pattern endpapers and the text wept big tears on p. 51 - this, the fourth, shares the leaf patterned endpapers, but has shed big tears on page 51. Linder, p. 421; Quinby 2.
