Seller's Description:
Vanessa Bell. Near Fine. A wonderful copy of Virginia Woolf's breakout story collection 'Monday or Tuesday'. Being one of a small 1, 000 copy print run. Illustrated, with four woodcuts by Vanessa Bell, Woolf's elder sister. Bell designed a number of dust jackets for books published by the Hogarth Press, in addition to illustrating many of Virginia's later works. Collated, complete, with the leaf of publisher's advertisements to the rear. This was the first Hogarth Press book to be included in the Annals of English Literature, and was a very early publication by the Woolfs' press. It was the only short story collection to be published in Virginia Woolf's lifetime. Containing eight stories, 'A Haunted House', 'A Society', 'Monday or Tuesday', 'An Unwritten Novel', 'The String Quartet', 'Blue and Green', 'Kew Gardens' and 'The Mark on the Wall'. An important Bloomsbury Group work. In a custom slipcase, and with the book in a custom brodart wrap. A truly excellent copy of this usually fragile work. In the original quarter cloth binding, with paper covered boards. Externally, excellent with minor bumping to the head and tail of spine. A few light marks to the rear board. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright. Minor offsetting and a few scattered spots to the first and last few pages. Otherwise, just the odd light spot. Near Fine.
