TOLSTOI, Count Lyof N. (TOLSTOY). Anna Karenina. In Eight Parts. Translated by Nathan Haskell Dole.
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., (1886). First edition in English, early issue (with six titles by Tolstoi listed in "By The Same Author" on page facing title). 8vo., original green cloth stamped in gilt, (viii), 773, (4)pp. ads. Some minor rubbing and light wear to the spine ends otherwise a near fine copy.
There is no proper bibliography for this title (or for Tolstoi) and one can only use the number of titles by Tolstoi listed on the advert facing the titlepage as a guide, as we have found examples which list as few as 3 titles and as many as 11. However, even this is not a completely reliable method, but in lieu of a scholarly bibliography it is the only reasonable way of determining an early as opposed to late issue.
