The Mutiny on the Bounty Trilogy
Boston: Little, Brown & Co., 1932-1934. First Editions. 4 vols. All are fine in fine dustjackets. The basic triple decker is ex–Jean Hersholt. His first volume (Mutiny on the Bounty) is a first edition in the second binding, with pictorial endpapers, however, supplementing his copy is a 1st edition of it in the 1st binding with plain endpapers, and this additional copy is also fine in a fine dustjacket. The reasoning was to keep the three Hersholt books together because they are a suite of such outstanding quality and provenance, but not to have them diminished by the second binding endpapers in vol. I. The trilogy’s second volume (Man Against the Sea) is the first edition and there are no eccentricities of issue, state, or binding, and it is the scarcest of the three in fine condition. The third volume (Pitcairn’s Island) is also the first edition with no bibliographical complications. Item #1122
