Price reduced to $500 NET

TWAIN, Mark [CLEMENS, Samuel]. A TRAMP ABROAD. Hartford: American 
Publishing Company, 1880. First Edition. Publisher's sheep with a black 
leather label. BAL 3386: State C of portrait frontispiece; state B of 
regular frontispiece; and state B of sheets. An account of Twain's tour 
or Europe, including an Alpine tour, the description of which consists 
of over 100 pages, where he made an ascent of the Riffelberg in Zermatt, 
producing a parody of other Alpine accounts. Laid in is a leaflet 
advertising the publisher's geographical game "Rambles Through Our 
Country." Significantly fewer copies of Twain's titles were bound in 
publisher's leather than in cloth and are much more difficult to locate. 
This copy has a chip slightly larger than a nickel at the top of the 
spine. The joints are partly cracked but still tight. Scarce in this 
binding and in this attractive, unsophisticated condition. Despite the 
chip, a Near Fine copy. (#003462)        $1,000.00
