There is a some light wear to the label’s edges and a short marginal tear to the first page of text (not affecting the text).
From the estate of the noted actor Douglas Fairbanks, whose bookplate is found on the front pastedown. Woolf’s third novel, which describes Jacob Flanders’ life story from childhood through his adulthood until his death in World War I. Only one of 1500 copies printed.
