Author: TWAIN, Mark Title: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (Tom Sawyer's Comrade)
Description: New York, Charles L. Webster and Company, 1885. Hardcover. 8vo. Modern rebind in dark green cloth (gilt spine lettering) that mimics the remounted original front board cloth (with gilt and black lettering and pictorial stamping). 366pp. Frontispieces, numerous small engravings. Modern rebind and endpapers are fine and pristine, with remounted front board cloth sunned and rubbed; original edgeworn and age toned inner flyleaf bears the proud pencilled ownership signature of Will J. Hommel, a young boy who received it on Christmas 1886 (and signs and notes this thrice); text block is tight and fairly nice, though evidence of the young boy's grubby mitts as he read it appear in the margins throughout. First edition, later state. A super tight and quite handleable rebind, appropriately priced. .
