The publisher’s original red cloth binding remains structurally sound and fully intact, though it displays moderate signs of age, storage, and handling to justify this grade. The spine is heavily sunned to a lighter, faded hue, with the gilt lettering mildly dulled but entirely legible. The extremities present with light rubbing and soft bumping to the corners. A notable dampstain affects the upper margin of the rear board, which extends subtly into the text block, leaving a visible tide mark across the top edge of the preliminary pages, most distinctly upon the tissue-guarded frontispiece and title page. The untrimmed fore and bottom edges are lightly dust-soiled, yet the core of the text block remains tightly bound, readable, and largely free from heavy internal blemishes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: This New and Revised Edition was meticulously edited and supplemented by Mrs. Luther S. Livingston, who served as the Assistant Librarian of the Harry Elkins Widener Memorial Library at Harvard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume is notably complete with its striking photogravure frontispiece portrait of the author, executed by Walker \u0026amp; Cockerell from an 1886 photograph. The gilt titling on the spine indicates this specific volume was bound to uniformly match a collected works set, likely intended to supplement the prestigious Pentland Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile earlier bibliographies surface with some regularity, this specific 1917 revision in its original cloth binding remains uncommon on the open market, standing as a vital bibliographic cornerstone for early twentieth-century collectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally compiled by Colonel W. F. Prideaux, this exhaustive bibliography of Robert Louis Stevenson’s works was expanded and brought fully up to date in 1917 by Mrs. Luther S. Livingston. A fundamental reference guide for scholars and serious collectors, the text meticulously chronicles the beloved Scottish author's novels, essays, poetry, and rarer literary ephemera. It offers an indispensable, structured window into his enduring and prolific literary legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55023090794835,"sku":"5558","price":18.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260916_120324.jpg?v=1790075315","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/a-bibliography-of-the-works-of-robert-louis-stevenson-colonel-w-f-prideaux","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
