    Louisa May Alcott

    Hardcover (Roberts Brothers, March 15, 1886)
    Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1886. First Edition, First State. Brown cloth decorated in black and gilt, 365 pp. + 1 blank + 18 pp. ads, last title mentioned in ads A Flatiron For a Farthing, 1 1/16" textblock, frontispiece, light green floral endpapers, matching dates on title and copyright page. Just Good, though bright (see scans); front hinge cracked, modest lean, small scale wear at spine ends and at corners, a bit of soiling, several spots of foxing at page fore-edge and at frontis tissue-guard, several leaves corner-torn, with minimal loss of text. See scans. Just Good, but lively and with all first-issue points. Alcott's latter-day update of the fortunes of former students at Jo's school for boys, Plumfield. Plenty soapy, and the characters have maintained their manitous though the [then] present day. Alcott's hopeful didacticism still abounds, as well. l50n
