Lolita (First Printing) Vladimir Nabokov 20Th Century Highspots

First edition, first impression. A lovely, Fine copy: tight and square binding in sharp black boards; lettered in silver to the backstrip; publisher's pink topstain, slightly faded; else exceptionally clean and bright, presenting as unread. The unclipped dustwrapper (21s net stated) is Near Fine: crisp and vibrant, with no fading at all (scarce, thus); lightly rubbed to the heel of the spine and corners; two short closed tears - 1cm to the top of the lower flap & 1.5cm to the foot of the front panel - both sealed to the verso with professional mending tissue; presented in a removable, archival-quality Brodart protective cover. The nicest copy we have had the pleasure to handle. All orders are sent very carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and sturdy cardboard.
