The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Mark Twain, 1876.

CLEMENS, Samuel (“Mark Twain,” 1835-1910). The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. Hartford: American Publishing Company, 1876.



First printing of the first American edition—one of 200 specially bound in publisher’s half morocco. After handing over the manuscript for illustration by True Williams, the American edition was significantly delayed due to the publisher Bliss’s lack of preparation and failure to canvass subscriptions. More than a year would pass until it was finally issued in January 1877, though the unillustrated English edition was successfully released beforehand in June 1876 (Powers, 383-385). BAL 3369; Johnson, 27; Grolier American [78]. See Ron Powers’ Mark Twain: a Life (2005).



Octavo (212 x 161mm). Half-title, 4-page publisher's ads at end; wood-engraved frontispiece and numerous in-text illustrations (a short tears, some repaired, mostly in blank margins, some smudging, some corner creases). Publisher’s brown half morocco over purplish-brown cloth gilt stamped, spine gilt, all edges gilt, yellowish-brown endpapers and laid paper fly leaves (joints flaking, bumped); modern blue quarter morocco slipcase with chemise.
