FIRST EDITIONS, SECOND SERIES IN VANESSA BELL’S DUSTJACKET The Common Reader: First and Second Series

The first volume is in first edition grey cloth-backed paper covered boards to Vanessa Bell’s design, a bright clean copy, internally unmarked, a near fine copy. The second volume is in publisher's green cloth which is brightly attractive and in near fine condition in a very good example of Vanessa Bell’s dustjacket, light foxing to lower panel of jacket and a small chip at the head of the spine. Among the essays are Woolf's thoughts on Jane Austen, the Brontes and 'How Should One Read a Book?'. In the case of these two books, read and marvel.
