Confessions of a Young Man (First Edition)

Edited and Annotated by George Moore, 1904, and again in 1916.

First edition. London: William Heinemann, (1917). 8vo. Original red publisher's cloth hardcover in original unclipped dust jacket. Pages: xiii, 224, 16 pages of advertisements.

Lettering and illustrations stamped on cover and spine in black. Front end papers contain publisher advertisements for "Heinemann's Favourite Classics". Previous owner's inscription neatly inked on first page. 

Very good in like dust jacket. Dust jacket unclipped, some faint markings here and there, very minor chipping at corners and on edges. Hardcover bindings very good, square and tight. Original black stamping on cover and spine still bold. Contents very good, mild toning and mild foxing throughout. Age toning much more pronounced on rear advertisement pages, likely printed on inferior paper stock. This has transferred onto the final page of the novel, which is markedly more toned than the rest of the contents. Overall, contents are clean and bright, well preserved.
