Dealer Notes
A robust copy of the first uniform edition of the second series of Virginia Woolf’s The Common Reader (1935), unusual in its matching teal dust jacket; originally published by the Hogarth Press in 1932, according to Kirkpatrick this ‘new edition’ is actually a photo-offset reprint of the first edition. 3200 copies were printed.
