OMOO: A NARRATIVE OF ADVENTURES IN THE SOUTH SEAS...COMPLETE IN TWO PARTS. First American edition of Melville's second book, preceded by the London edition. This copy was originally in the format of the two volume issue in printed wrappers, but with only the front wrapper of the first part preserved, bound up in the 19th century as two-volumes-in-one. With the previous binding in dilapidated state, it was evidently quite recently rebound.
