Exceedingly rare advance copyright printing in wrappers, preceding the first published edition. On copyright page: “Set up and electrotyped. Published [space], 1906.” Deposited May 9, 1906. These unillustrated and plainly bound copies would have been printed in a very limited number for copyright purposes only. The first published book edition was not published until September 1907 (BAL 11904). BAL only locates a copy at Yale University Library, and one copy has appeared on the market (Christie’s New York, 20 May 1988, lot 169).
8vo. Printed on laid paper. Original printed gray paper wrappers, fine. BAL 11894A.
