Near Fine with light wear at extremities, slight fading to cloth at spine. Pages lightly toned. Front and rear free endsheets offset from binder's glue, and light tape burns there as well. A lovely copy of one of Virginia Woolf's best-known works, published by Virginia and Leonard at their Hogarth Press.

Mrs Dalloway is a novel by Virginia Woolf published on 14 May 1925. It details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, a fictional high-society woman in post–First World War England. It is one of Woolf's best-known novels.

Identification of 'Mrs Dalloway' first editions can be complex without a dust jacket. First editions published by Hogarth Press in 1925 would typically be bound in a yellow-green cloth, with titles in gilt on the spine. Presence of a dust jacket, especially the Vanessa Bell-designed jacket, greatly increases the rarity and value.
