David Supino’s meticulously researched catalog of his extensive private collection of early editions of the works of Henry James sheds new light on developments in the publishing of novels at the turn of the twentieth century. Only recently have book scholars recognized the importance of dust jackets on early editions. Supino explores how the dust jacket itself evolved—from a means of protection to a key marketing tool—and reveals new information on early colonial and American editions of Henry James’s works. Featuring expert commentary and detailed descriptions of each edition in Supino's collection, this volume will be an essential resource for bibliophiles and Henry James enthusiasts alike.
