FOUR PLAYS BY BERNARD SHAW Vintage Modern Library Hardcover w/ Dust Jacket

Description: FOUR PLAYS BY BERNARD SHAW. ‘Candida;’ ‘Caesar & Cleopatra;’ ‘Pygmalion;’ and ‘Heartbreak Hotel.’ “Complete and Unabridged with the Famous Prefaces.” Introduction by Louis Kronenberger. Vintage Modern Library hardcover book with dust jacket. Published by Random House, Inc. 473 pages followed by a 10-page list of other Modern Library titles. The book does not give a publication date. According to a Modern Library Collectors web site, this version of the dust jacket was in use from 1953 to 1975. Based on the appearance of the book and the dust-jacket, I believe this copy was issued during the latter half of that range. This hardcover book is in good-to-very-good condition with a square, tight spine and clean, unmarked pages. The black cloth-covered boards show wear and bumping at the spine ends but no significant defects. The embossed silver printing on the spine is bright and unchipped. There are no loose, torn, or missing pages, and, apart from three lines of notes written in blue ink on the rear end-page, no writing, marking, or underlining anywhere in the book. The price-clipped dust jacket is in good condition with moderate wear and chipping at the spine ends — especially at the top of the spine — and at the ends of the jacket creases. The front of the dust-jacket is clean and bright. The rear of the jacket has some surface wear but no significant defects. Small pieces of clear tape have been applied to reinforce the spine ends and the ends of the jacket creases. There is no tape on the outside of the jacket. The dust jacket is now covered in Mylar to prevent further damage. All photos except the last one, however, were taken without it. Please see the pictures for details.
