Description: This Modern Library book, #89.1, was written by W. H. Hudson. In the front flap has the standard blurb about “The Modern Library, in less than ten years ...”. From the front flap of a later copy, "Few books among the world's treasure of fiction have found such universal favor and such ardent devotees as Green Mansions. The reason is not far to seek, for it is a tale that holds every variety of reader captive by its yearning love and beauty. John Galsworthy, in his introduction, says: "Green Mansions immortalizes as passionate a love of all beautiful things as ever was in the heart of man. . . . The book is unique, a simple romantic narrative transmuted by sheer glow of beauty into a prose poem." 289 pgsThe book has a Toledano 5 cover, D or Kent endpapers, and a d jacket. The jacket refers to 159 regular titles on the back panel, dating to spring 1929. The copyright page is undated.The used book is in about very good condition with little to remark on. The gilt is bright, the cover is clean, and there are nominal signs of wear. Fanning the pages, I noted no underlining or marginalia, no offensive odor, and the binding is without issue. The unclipped jacket is otherwise complete and retains nice color. Corner nicks and shallow edge wear is noted.As I draft this, there are five flexi's on ABE with jackets. None with this particular jacket and ranging in price from $87.20 to $525.00.If you intend to purchase multiple items and enjoy a shipping discount, use the “Add to Cart” option, NOT the “Buy It Now” option.
