1942WRCLIT77652Garden City: Doubleday Doran & Co. 1942. Cloth backed marbled boards t.e.g. Endsheets discolored from the binding glue utilized a few foxmarks at fore-edge else near fine. Second separate American printing following the 1934 U.S. copyright printing and the text's inclusion in the Sussex edition and the Burwash edition. This is one of only ten copies privately printed on handmade paper for presentation by the publisher. Kipling's text is preceded by a prefatory letter "My dear Mr. President:" outlining the background of the text by Alexander Woolcott signed in type noting "Nelson Doubleday has now put it into type for one of the many idle hours which must hang heavy on your hands these days." If the dedication to "Mr. President" suggests that this highly limited edition was undertaken in part for presentation to FDR the notion of FDR having "many idle hours" must be described as ironic. While not the first appearance of the text in book form it is much less common than the copyright printing 75 copies and as a production of Kipling's authorized U.S. publisher it must enjoy some bibliographic merit. Not in Stewart. From the Nelson Doubleday collection sale. RICHARDS A419n. Doubleday, Doran & Co. hardcover books
