Description: This is a rare and valuable first edition set of the First and Second volumes of Louisa May Alcott's "Little Women". The hardcover bindings in the original green cloth with brown coated endpapers, printed in 1869 by Roberts Brothers. Vol. 1 has 1869 on the title page, no Part One statement on the spine, and the notice for "Little Women, Part Two" on page 341. I believe this indicates that there were at least three printings dated 1869 before the notice was added to p. 341 and that four 1869 printings took place without the Part One statement on the spine. This would make Vol I an early printing of the First Edition. Vol. 2 has the note on p. iv "that Little Women, Part First, is published in a volume uniform with this." These books are in very good condition. The bindings are tight, there is some, but minimal, foxing and no water damage. There are no signatures or dedications. The head and tail of both spines are fraying as shown in the photographs. If you have any questions or need additional photos, please feel free to contact me.
