About This Item
New York: Hearst International Library Co, 1915. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Red cloth with white lettering. 330pp. Frontispiece. Very good. Slight edgewear and very light soiling -- overall tight and fairly attractive. First edition of this Irish-American short story writer's first book. According to Winthrop Wetherbee Jr.'s "Donn Byrne: A Bibliography" (1949), "The 1915 edition is the rarest of Donn Byrne books. Only 639 copies are reported to have been sold, and of these the author himself bought thirteen. No copy in mint condition, with the original dust jacket, is known to exist...." BAL 2286.
