Duckworth, London., 1920. Second impression: one of 1000 copies issued in the Covent Garden Library. Octavo. pp [iv], 538. Two pages of adverts for The Voyage Out at rear.

By 1929, when Duckworth transferred the sheets and moulds to the Hogarth Press, only 566 copies of this second impression had been sold (see Kirkpatrick A4).Small ownership signature on front free endpaper. Edges slightly spotted. Very good indeed in the very scarce dustwrapper (unseen by Kirkpatrick) which is lightly tanned at the spine and with a small chip and a few nicks.
