Abstract
-
en_US
At last I have found a--reported--first printing of this wonderful little book. The EBay advertisement makes all the right claims for the book, and the book bears them out. There are the advertisements, beginning with Anna Fuller's books, following 194. I learned here that this book, although the copyright is 1898, was published in 1899. Thus I have changed the other Bierce editions that had had a first date of 1898 to a new first date of 1899. The references that the EBay advertisement offers are McBride's Pocket Guide to the Identification of First Editions, pp. 74 and 282, and Bibliography of American Literature. I will also remember this book because the seller moved soon after the sale and forgot to send the book to me. After several weeks of waiting in vain, I thought I had become a victim of fraud. At last he responded with an email and then the book. See my comments on the 1970 Dover reprint.
