Item Details

Description

A Passage to India by E.M. Forster, Harcourt Brace & Co. 1st edition, 12th Printing, Feb. 1925. Black cloth boards with yellow title on front cover and on spine.
Book is in good condition, binding tight and square, hinges in good shape, corners bumped, small indentation on top and on side of back cover and towards middle of back cover. There is an odd indentation in the page edges on the lower part of the book which is a cut in many pages on the bottom, going from pg. 239 to 281. The cut is clean and it looks like some production glitch. pgs. 241-244 are much shorter than the other pages and are at the beginning of this set of pages with these cuts. Page edges are uneven along the side and bottom edges but not on the top edge. Top edge tinted. Edgewear, fraying at top and bottom of spine. Some stains on side page edge towards bottom.
Dimensions 5 1/8" W x 7 3/4" L x 1 5/16" H.
A rare first edition book, and a great addition to any collection.
