Publication: London, Rupert Hart-Davis, 1967

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 212.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The original plum cloth boards are remarkably tight, square, and free from shelf-wear, retaining exceptionally sharp corners and unbumped spine ends. The text block is notably bright, crisp, and clean throughout, showing no evidence of foxing or historical dampness. The original paper dust-jacket, unclipped, is excellently preserved, exhibiting only the faintest, uniform age-toning to the spine and extremities typical of the stock, with no chips, closed tears, or creasing. A highly presentable, collector-grade copy.

Catalogue Note: Second Edition, Revised. First published a decade prior, this printing significantly expands upon Kirkpatrick's foundational text to incorporate new discoveries and vital bibliographical corrections. Issued within the authoritative Soho Bibliographies series, it remains a heavily consulted reference for modernist scholarship.

The volume features a frontispiece photographic portrait of Virginia Woolf taken in 1938. While lacking formal ownership inscriptions or bookplates, this copy includes a loosely inserted clipping from a George Robert Minkoff Rare Books catalogue, offering a quiet nod to its passage through the established transatlantic trade.

Though later printings were produced in larger runs, securing this specific revised edition in such an unblemished, jacketed state has become increasingly uncommon on the open market.

An indispensable reference work for any serious collector or scholar of modernism, Kirkpatrick’s bibliography meticulously catalogues the expansive and complex publication history of Virginia Woolf. Providing rigorous, collated data on her novels, essays, and translations, this volume is an essential guide to navigating the intricacies of the Hogarth Press and identifying true first editions of one of the twentieth century's most significant literary figures.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
