The first separate printing of this short story. Initially published in Two Stories alongside Leonard Woolf’s ‘Three Jews’ in a run of 150, being the first book printed by the Hogarth Press. The little book took the Woolfs two and a half months to prepare, with Virginia painstakingly typesetting and binding in delicate and beautiful paper, and Leonard printing. By the time of this publication, the press had already been through a long line of “tortured assistants”, becoming in the process more a business interest than a hobby. This run was printed in 1000 copies.
Staples rusting, very slightly nicked at the edges, otherwise an excellent copy. Kirkpatrick A2b.
