Description
The textblocks of these two quartos were printed from the same plates as the octavos. But with more generous space around the text, they are better looking and easier to read. The plain copy featured top-edge gilt and sold for $2.25. For 75¢ more, the Advance Edition had higher-grade paper, an ornate cover and spine decoration, and top-edge gilt. Both copies are padded out with “A Case of Identity” and a work by Sarah Grand.
