8vo, black cloth, gilt titles, red top stain, 315pp. First Edition, stated first impression. Presented with tattered dust jacket tipped-in, 5.00 price to front flap, spine with entire loss below titles, author photo rear panel intact, front panel missing. Boards show fading and light bumps to corners, lean to boards, some mottling to top stain. A few pages minimally marked to text. Binding sharp and intact. The true first edition of Nabokov’s pioneering novel of a poem in four cantos and a narrative drawn out of commentary on the text. A good copy sans dust jacket.
