James Publishing Details: Published by George Bell, London, 1923. 1st edn in original smooth black cloth with gilt titles. 277pp lower edge untrimmed. Twelve ghost stories collected for the first time in book form, together with a scholarly prologue, epilogue and bibliographical checklist by M.R. James. Condition: A good to very good copy. Some flashing to front cover on lower right corner. Small gouge to rear board. Otherwise covers just lightly soiled. Edges sharp. Gilt titles bright. Striking bookplate to pastedown featuring the god Pan. Ink name to endpaper. Page edges dusty. Trivial fox spots to prelims. Interior clean, hinges strong, binding tight and firm. The photos best describe the book - though the flashing to the lower front cover does look harsh in light. In reality it seems less obtrusive. Supplied with a custom fit plastic protector. Context: An important work, the first collation of ghost stories previously scattered in many diverse magazines. M.R. James writes insightfully and informatively about Le Fanu, helpfully detailing his sources. This book went through two impressions; this copy is from the first printing. A better copy than average even with the minor faults. Important Terms: Returns are not accepted. Books are accurately described.
