[Rarebooks] FS: Illustrated THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV

[Charles Agvent]

DOSTOEVSKY, Fyodor. THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV. New York: Limited Editions 
Club, 1933. Three octavo volumes (5-1/2" x 8-1/8") bound in half yellow 
linen and hand-decorated paper sides. Designed by D. B. Updike and 
printed at the Merrymount Press. Translated by Constance Garnett and 
revised, with an introduction, by Avrahm Yarmolinsky. Illustrated with 
wash drawings by Alexander King. Of a total edition of 1500 copies 
SIGNED by the artist on the colophon page, this is one of only 15 
Presentation Copies with the publisher's blindstamp attesting to such on 
the colophon page where the printed number "861" is struck through and 
the initials "G.M." are handwritten (The 861 number is retained on the 
slipcase.). Acquired directly from the publisher's files, and most 
likely the publisher George Macy's very own copy. Spines a little 
darkened, labels intact. Still Near Fine in an intact, Good slipcase, 
soiled and rubbed but with no repairs. Much more difficult to locate 
than the later issue by the same publisher and this set is in better 
than average condition. (#016548)        $400.00
