Herman Melville and Rockwell Kent (illustrator) - Moby Dick, or The Whale

New York: Random House, 1930. Reprint. First thus. Hardcover. Octavo. Pp. xxxi, 822. Black cloth binding with silver lettering and cover decoration. Illustrated. This is an unprepossessing copy with no dust jacket but enough roughscrabble pizazz to make you ashamed of wearing a jacket yourself. Rubbing, patchy surface excoriation to covers; dampstain splattering* to textblock edges (no penetration to pages). Pretty clean interior. The woodcut illustrations are beautiful and a real life-saver if you're like me and don't know how to read.

*Probably just whale squishins or something fun like that.
