first edition Hardcover
1911 · New York
by GILMAN, Charlotte Perkins
New York: The Charlton Company, 1911. Hardcover. Fine. First edition, hardcover issue. Octavo. Red cloth titled in gilt. Offsetting on endpapers, likely for the flaps of a now perished dust jacket, else fine. The first collected edition of this novel originally serialized in Gilman's periodical *The Forerunner*. The novel concerns a group of women that flee their New England village to form a more progressive community in Colorado. Also issued simultaneously in printed wrappers, the hardcover seems many times the scarcer of the two formats. (Inventory #: 551483)
