1887135431887. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons 1887. 4 pp undated ads. Original printed yellow wrappers. First American Edition of this collection of tales some of which like "Thrawn Janet" and "Markham" are along the same vein as JEKYLL AND HYDE - Stevenson called such stories his "creepers." This copy is in yellow wrappers others were bound in red cloth and offered at a higher price. This is a very good copy with minor soil wrinkling and edge-wear of the very delicate wrapper -- rather remarkable condition actually for so fragile a volume. In our experience the American edition in cloth or especially in wrappers is much scarcer than the English one even on this side of the Atlantic. Beinecke 413; Princeton 33A copy 2. unknown books
