London: Cassell & Company | printed at the Lakeside Press (Chicago), 1930. Hard Cover. Very Good binding. Octavo. xxxi, [1], 822, [6] pp., illus. As issued, in publisher's black cloth, lacking dust jacket. Binding rubbed and hinges a trifle loose; nevertheless, it presents fairly well. Contemporary gift inscription on the front free endpaper dated 1936, otherwise, internally clean. Three asterisks stamped beneath the imprint on the title page--a stamp seen on other, but not all copies of the Cassell edition, nevertheless likely from the publisher. This appears to be the first English edition, though the binding does not have the title stamped in gilt on the front cover as seen in other examples. Tanselle, in his A Checklist of Editions of Moby-Dick, 1851-1976, writes of the first, quarto edition of Kent's work: "The most elaborate physical presentation which had been accorded to Moby-Dick up to this time, and one of the finest examples of bookmaking to found among all the editions of his work.… Read More

Beautifully bound by Stephen Conway in full black leather with titles in gilt to the upper board and spine. Hand sewn endbands. All edges gilt. Original publisher's cloth bound in at the rear. With 272 woodcut illustrations throughout the text by Rockwell Kent. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, the contents clean and bright throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. First produced as a three volume limited Lakeside Press edition of 1,000 copies before being published as a one volume trade edition by Random House, Rockwell's stark, dramatic visual take on Moby Dick brought the (then relatively obscure) classic American novel firmly into the 20th century and quickly reinvigorated interest in Melville's work; the Rockwell edition is even now often hailed as the definitive Moby Dick. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on… Read More

New York: Random House, 1930. First edition of Rockwell Kent's profusely illustrated edition of the great American novel. Octavo, original black cloth decorated in gilt, illustrated throughout by Rockwell Kent. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "For Ann Busby by Rockwell Kent." In very good condition. A bright example. Initially panned by critics and readers when published in 1851, "in the 20th century Moby Dick would be rediscovered and acknowledged as possibly the greatest of all American novels" (Chronology of American Literature). The artist Rockwell Kent did more than provide the illustrations for this landmark edition—he designed the entire book. "His energy, many-sided activities and preoccupation with integrated book design made him one of the best known American illustrators of his time" (Harthan, 247).
