Jean Rhys - Wide Sargasso Sea - First Edition

RHYS, Jean (1890-1979), [WYNDHM, Frances, introduction].

Wide Sargasso Sea.

London: Andre Deutsch, 1966.

FIRST EDITION, first impression. Octavo (21 x 15cm), pp.189; [3]. Publisher's red cloth lettered in gilt to spine. Dust-jacket designed by Eric Thomas.

Neat ownership to flyleaf, edges marginally toned with one mark to fore edge, first gather bound a touch lower than the others. Price clipped dust-jacket shows very well, very lightly bruised to the top of the spine and some slight lifting of the laminate to the middle of the rear fold. A crisp copy not marred by the spotting and toning this title often suffers from. Near fine.
