THE "SEVENPENNY LIBRARY" EDITION IN ORIGINAL DUST JACKET

The present copy represents the so-called “Cheap Edition,” in its striking jacket. A small and rather fragile clothbound paperback-equivalent of the World War I-era, “Sevenpenny Library” cheap editions did not age well, and the dust jackets are rarely seen.
