Second Impression. Hardcover. Woolf, Virginia. NIGHT AND DAY. London: Duckworth, 1920. A near fine or better example of the much more elaborate second impression: one of 1000 copies issued in the Covent Garden Library. 8vo., pp [iv], 538. Two pages of advertisements for The Voyage Out at rear. Dark blue cloth with bright gilt decoration to the spine. By the time the Hogarth Press [February, 1929] received the transfer of the balance of the sheets [about 465 copies] & molds from Duckworth only 566 copies of this second impression had been sold - Kirkpatrick A4. A very nice example [one tiny mended closed tear at the spine crown] - Quite uncommon.
