FIRST thus. Octavo, pp., 191. Publisher’s steel grey cloth with gilt title to spine in an unclipped, pictorial dust-jacket bearing the image of a ship. Unobtrusive stain to upper board, otherwise a near fine copy. The first time Poe and Verne’s versions of the novel were published together. Poe originally wrote ‘The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket’ shortly before he died. With the ending being so unpopular, many revisions have been written, most notably Verne’s sequel. £40.00
