Description: This listing is for Tales, a rare collection of Edgar Allan Poe’s finest work. This book was published in 1930 by Lakeside Press, and is part of a limited print run consisting of just 1,000 copies. Tales is illustrated in black and white by W.A. Dwiggins. There is plenty of wear and discoloration present on the slipcase. The book itself, however, is in wonderful condition—I would call it mint (although I’m not a professional grader), besides some writing in pencil on the very first blank page (the writing says “325-” and “1/1,000 copies”, along with a few other numbers). As always, see the attached pictures for the exact condition and appearance of the item. Please feel free to browse my other listings. Let me know if you’d like to combine shipping across multiple orders. Reasonable offers always welcome. Item will be shipped with care, typically one (occasionally two) business days after your purchase. Thank you for your interest in this item!
