BARRIE, J. M. TWO OF THEM. New York: Lovell, Coryell & Company, 5 and 7 East Sixteenth Street, (1893). First American edition; the unauthorized, cloth issue. Illustrated with 10 plates. 282 pp., [4] pp. publisher's adv. Octavo, blue cloth over bevelled boards, gilt-title at spine. One leaf has a marginal tear (p. 87). The spine is very lightly sunned; and the cloth shows just a touch of wear at fore-corners. Nonetheless, it is a remarkably clean and crisp copy overall, and near fine. Cutler calls this one of the most curious of all unauthorized American editions of Barrie because it is primarily a reprint of material recently published in An Auld Licht Manse and A Tillyloss Scandal, which is probably the reason it was not widely printed, and is evidence of the publisher's blatant attempt to capitalize on Barrie's popularity for profit. The cloth issue was briefly preceeded by sheets bound in a paper wrapper format. This was customary at that time in American printing, due to the prevailing practice of piracy, and an attempt to quickly standardize the market.
