MAUGHAM, W. SOMERSET. Of Human Bondage. London, 1892. Library edition, original dust jacket. Inscribed and signed by Maugham.
Of Human Bondage. London: William Heinemann, 1931.8vo, publisher's green cloth lettered in black, pictorial dust jacket, housed in green cloth clamshell case. 3/6 Library edition, third impression. Inscribed and signed by Maugham on half-title. Rare dust jacket with the same illustration used on the suppressed British first edition, featuring the novel's main character, Philip Carey. The dust jacket was replaced on the first edition because the artist had drawn the character's club foot on the wrong leg. Thus, this illustration is scarce. Ends bumped; jacket lightly soiled and torn with loss to spine and edges; hinges starting.
