DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. New York: Limited Editions 
Club, 1948. Two large quarto (8" x 11-1/8") volumes bound in black and 
red linen with a gilt-decorated inset on the front cover. Translated by 
Constance Garnett. Illustrated with powerful wood engravings by Fritz 
Eichenberg. Of a total edition of 1500 copies SIGNED by the artist on 
the colophon page, this is one of only 25 Presentation Copies with the 
publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on the colophon page where 
instead of a number the initials "G.C." are handwritten. Acquired 
directly from the publisher's files, this copy belonged to Gordon 
Carroll who was in charge of the club's operations in the 1970s when it 
operated out of Avon, CT. A superb edition of this classic. Fine in 
glassines and a Fine slipcase. (#016312)        $350.00
