Jacob's Room, Virginia Woolf. First Edition. Richmond: Published by Leonard & Virginia Woolf at the Hogarth Press, 1922.

Octavo. Original yellow cloth, white paper title label to spine printed in black. Contents a little spotted and rather shaken, spine label lightly rubbed. Very good.

First edition, first impression. One of 40 “A” subscribers’ copies with the part-printed limitation label to the front free endpaper completed in ink by Virginia Woolf and signed by her. These copies were issued in advance of the trade publication and were not issued in dust jacket; they were given to the active subscribers who had supported the press’s early publications. The present copy was issued to Arthur Lindsay Dakyns (1883–1941), a barrister and occasional writer on political and economic affairs, who had met Woolf as early as 1908, and was on friendly terms with E. M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, and J. M. Keynes.
