Description: What is the meaning of life? That was all- a simple question; one that tended to close in on one with years, the great revelation had never come. The great revelation perhaps never did come. Instead, there were little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark; here was one.Here we offer the first edition, third print run, of the classic, canonical novel, To the Lighthouse, by Virginia Woolf, published by Harcourt, Brace, and Company, New York, in 1927. The book comes wrapped in a facsimile of the first edition dust jacket, designed by Woolf's sister, Vanessa Bell, printed on coated heavyweight bond. This remastered dust jacket is the finest reproduction available , which you can only get here. The polymer coating on the paper ensures the brightest colors and sharpest prints, as the ink sits atop the paper rather than being absorbed into the fibers. Boards have light wear, with a light, linear moisture stain down the right front panel and a stain atop the text block (please see pics.) Intact endpapers are uninscribed. Binding is very tight and square; text is very clean, bright and crisp with light foxing throughout. 320 pages. The book measures approximately 7.75 x 5.25-inches. The jacket comes sleeved in its own ph-neutral mylar jacket and is ready to slip into your collection.This attractive classic first will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.Please click HERE to see the other Virginia Woolf classics we offer! ** Have you seen all the amazing first and rare editions of iconic books we offer?
