Jacob's Room
Hogarth Press, 1922.
First edition. One of some 40 special, 'A Subscribers' copies with the publisher's tipped in printed slip to that effect, inscribed to A.L. Daykyns and signed and dated by Virginia Woolf. Original publisher's yellow cloth with title label to spine. A very good copy with a small split to the head of the spine and minor wear to the title label, but generally clean. Internally bright, with occasional looseness to the sections. A well preserved example of a noted rarity.
in the early days of the Hogarth Press two categories of subscribers were formed, 'A Subscribers' who made a deposit and received all publications of the press, and 'B Subscribers' who were notified of all publications. With the publication of Jacob's Room the decision was taken to establish the Hogarth Press as a business concern and in future to publish all of Mrs Woolf's works. Mr Woolf thought that in order to acknowledge the support given by the 'A Subscribers' to the early publications of the press each subscriber was send a signed copy of Jacob's Room - Kirkpatrick (A Bibliography of Virginia Woolf).
A.L. Dakyns was a political economist and correspondent of J.M. Keynes.
