Hearn, Lafcadio

Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life

Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin, 1896. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. Item #011587

8vo., 388pp. Sharp First Edition bound in green cloth with titles in gilt on front board and spine. This is possibly a variant, not noted in BAL as all First Edition points are present save the gilt borders on the board panels and the text of the title page is b&w only. Square, tight and clean throughout with a hint of page edge toning and minimal wear to spine ends and tips. Spine gilt faded. Small, neat contemporary ownership signature on front end-paper. A very pretty collectable copy. (BAL #7928).
