Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions

Because the original wrappers-and-vellum-jacket format is fragile, first and second 1884 printings survive mostly in poor condition; Basil Blackwell's 1926 third edition and all subsequent 20th-century reprints and paperback reissues are cloth- or paper-bound in different formats entirely, so binding and collation, not the pseudonymous 'A Square' byline (which reprints retained), distinguish a genuine 1884 Seeley first printing.
