Author: HESSE, Hermann
Title: Siddhartha
Description: 1951. HESSE, Hermann. SIDDHARTHA. New York: New Directions, (1951). First U.S. edition, translated by Hilda Rosner. Small 8vo. yellow pictorial cloth boards backed in green, green endpapers, top edge green. Lacks the preliminary leaf, either a blank or the half-title, that should precede the title-page; otherwise, internally as new. The binding shows a bit of wear and has one very small pen mark to spine. It is housed in a sunned, somewhat dampstained and soiled, yellow cloth-covered publisher's slipcase that has a paper label on one panel and a pictorial illustration on the other. Despite the missing preliminary leaf, it is an acceptable copy of a scarce edition. .
