A Set of Six

Joseph Conrad

Methuen & Co. 1908

First edition hardcover, later issue. Navy cloth with brown lettering and borders on cover and gilt on the spine. Good; corners are worn, spine is sunned and the head and tail have suffered damage. Interior is toned. No dustjacket. This copy belonged to John Quinn, the principal supporter and purchaser of Joseph Conrad's manuscripts during his lifetime. Affixed to the pastedown is Quinn's bookplate, which was designed by artist John B. Yeats. The book is a collection of short stories previously published in magazines: 'Gaspar Ruiz,' 'The Informer,' 'The Brute,' 'An Anarchist,' 'The Duel,' and 'Il Conde.'
