[SHAW, George Bernard] MENCKEN, H. L. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW: HIS PLAYS. 
Boston: John W. Luce, 1905. First Edition. Mencken's first book after 
VENTURES INTO VERSE, one of the rarest first editions in modern 
literature with only 100 copies produced. This title is also noted as 
the first book on George Bernard Shaw. Minor wear to the spine tips and 
corners with some darkening to the spine label though the paper label on 
the front cover is bright. Tasteful early bookplate on the front 
pastedown and with Frank Harding's name in ink dated 1929 and bookplate 
on the front endpaper. Very Good, lacking the exceptionally scarce 
dustwrapper. (#012354)        $150.00
