Rare early edition. Austen's debut novel and one of her several masterpieces, was originally issued in this three-volume format with a print run thought to be in the hundreds. It was so well received that Austen paid for this second edition to be printed. It has remained in print ever since. This set in contemporary condition is particularly attractive.

Second edition; 3 vols, 12mo; complete with all the half-titles, bound without final blanks (as often); some slight foxing; contemporary sprinkled half-calf with marbled paper sides, spine ruled in compartments gilt, twin red morocco title labels, light rubbing at extremities, two volumes expertly rebacked preserving the original spines, some typical albeit light spotting throughout, a very good set; vol. I: [4], 306pp; ; vol. II: [4], 278pp; vol. III: [4], 294pp; housed in a leather-entry slipcase.
