The novel was chosen by Time magazine as one of the 100 best English-language novels from 1923 to 2005, and the Modern Library ranked the book 55th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
Duodecimo (12mo), 404 pp. In original stiff illustrated gloss-coated wrappers. All outer edges of the text block are untrimmed and unstained. Book store label inside and a few tiny rips to the edges of the front wrapper, else just about near fine. Additional photos available on request.
