Click on Image to expandAdventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Comrade) by: Mark Twain (Samuel L. Clemens), First Edition, third state Published by: James R. Osgood and Company in Boston: 1885. Very good- in the publisher's original decorated green cloth covered boards with a black on gilt title box on the spine and gilt decorations and black embossing on the front board. The end sheets are the original light tan paper with a small prior owner's stamp on the front paste down. The cloth at the lower tips of the boards and at the head and heel of the spine is worn and rubbed through with the cloth at both the head and heel of the spine fraying. There is also a rent to the cloth of approximately 1/2" at the fore edge of the rear board. The binding is tight and strong with both hinges and joints showing no cracking or separation. There is however minor separation between the frontispiece and the tipped-in photographic bust of the author. This volume is the third state of the first edition based on the revised engraving on page 283 which is bound in. Additional points are as follows: the 1885 title page is a conjugate with (7), the copyright page which is dated 1884. Page 13 shows "Him and another Man" correctly listed on page 87. The 11th line from the bottom of page 57 shows "with the saw" instead of "with the was". The second "5" of "155" on page 155 is slightly larger. Page 283 is not a cancel but a conjugate with the corrected engraving. The fronticeportrait is tipped in with no tablecloth visible. The presence of these points of issue indicate either second and third states of the first edition. (BAL 3415; Peter Parley to Penrod, pp. 75-76; McBride, pp. 92-121) TB22097 $2000.00
