Faulkner, William - The Mansion - Random House: New York, 1959 - First Edition / First Printing / First Issue Dust Jacket - “First Printing” stated on the copyright page as required in order to denote the first printing of the first edition. First state dust jacket with correct, “10/59”, date code to lower front flap.
A Burgess 99 title.
The book has some rubbing to the tips, a linear stain to the spine, and some general shelf wear but is otherwise well kept. The binding is still square and firm and internally the text block is very clean but has waviness to the last 20 or so pages. The dust jacket has the inevitable sunning to the spine with some wear and shallow bites. There are a few small tabs on the verso reinforcing the edge but they are tiny and discreet. This is an attractive example of the correct first issue dust jacket with the price not clipped and the required date code. The third volume of Faulkner’s Snopes trilogy.
