Description: In this revised edition of his acclaimed 'Bibliographical Catalogue of the works of Henry James', David J. Supino has included a full description of each volume in his expanded collection, including transcription of the title page, collations, contents, binding, inserted ads, bookplates, binders' and booksellers' tickets, and a full description of dust-jackets. Most importantly, he has added the complete printing history of most of James's works, expanded commentary of the genesis of many of the editions, and an index of all of James's short stories and tales, tracing their publishing history from first magazine publication through their many reprintings in book form. His book performs a genuine service to the history of the book in the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, and will be an invaluable resource for scholars, collectors, rare-book dealers, and Henry James fans alike. -- Publisher's description.
