Published by Harper & Brothers in 1905, this is a first edition of Mark Twain's Editorial Wild Oats, a satirical collection drawn from his early years as a frontier journalist. The iconic pictorial binding — red cloth with black, white, and gold stamping — remains one of the more recognizable cover designs of the Edwardian era.
This copy is offered as a reading copy rather than a collector's copy. Condition issues include: missing all internal illustrations, split hinges, bumping to the corners of the boards, and marking, staining, and former owner inscriptions on the endpapers. The text is complete and readable throughout.
