The first edition, first printing with p.187 mispaginated '871'.
Nostromo was first serialised in T.P.'s Weekly, where Conrad reflected it was met with a lukewarm response — 'its readers... wrote many letters complaining of so much space being taken by utterly unreadable stuff... It is now generally considered as my greatest creative effort!' (Wise).
First edition, first printing, with p.187 mispaginated 871; 8vo (19 x 13 cm); light spotting to front and rear ff and fore-edge; publisher's blue cloth, upper cover lettered in white between wave design, spine lettered in gilt, upper joints slightly rubbed, minor wear to extremities, very good; [8], 480pp.
