The Voyage Out.

£5,000 · Offered by Shapero Rare Books

rare 1927 issue in dustjacket Virginia Woolf's first novel, the first edition of which was put out by Duckworth in 1915 and not issued in the US until 1920, at which time Woolf took the opportunity to revise sections with which she was unhappy. An unknown number of sheets of that printing were imported by Duckworth, a portion being issued in 1920, and a small number reissued as this present, so-called 'Cheap Edition' in 1927. We know of just one example of the 1915 printing still to exist in jacket and have handled just 2 jacketed copies of the 1920 English issue. This being the first similarly complete example of the 'Cheap Edition'. First American edition, second English issue; 8vo; faint offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's navy blue cloth, gilt lettering to spine, with the original dustjacket priced '5/- net' on spine, slight fading to spine and extremities, light bump to head of spine panel; a fine copy in near-fine dustjacket. Kirkpatrick A1c.
