- Lot Description
STEVENSON, ROBERT LOUIS Treasure Island. London: Cassell & Co., 1883. First edition with the following first impression points; "dead man's chest" not capitalized on pp. 2 and 7; broken type in "vain" and miscreant" in the last two lines of p. 40; "a" missing in line 6, p. 63; the "7" not present in the pagination of page 127; period not present on line 20 of page 178; "worse" instead of "worst" on line 3 of page 197. The "8", sometimes lacking from page 83. The book was published on 14 November 1883, and the first printing comprised 2,000 copies; of these, the first 750 were apparently bound up with the 4 pp. advertisements dated "5G-783" (July 1883), as here. Publisher's chestnut cloth, blue-black endpapers; housed in a slipcase and chemise. 7 1/2 x 4 3/4 inches (19 x 12 cm); viii, 292 pp., 8 pp.; four-color frontispiece map with tissue guard. Light wear overall, a trifle overopened, rear hinge starting to crack at the endpapers; intermittent scattered foxing internally. Book label of S. G. A. Hibbert. Overall, a far better than average example of one of the greatest of pirate stories; the treasure map had been drawn by Stevenson to amuse his young stepson, and the text followed later.
