The Golden Bowl (Volume II only) by Henry James (1904 First Edition)

Description: Condition Continued: The previous owner penned a good deal of writing on the front inside cover and blank first front end paper (I've provided a photograph). There is also a faded penned first name off the top edge of the page following the copyright page which states 'Book Second, The Princess.' I didn't see any other writing anywhere else in the book. The pages are quite clean. Scrolling through I only found a few small, inconspicuous spots of soiling. I may have missed something. There's a light, thin, semi-crease coming down from the middle of the top edge to the middle of the outer edge of around 80 consecutive pages, not terrible, the kind of crease you see when something presses against a page or pages, not a sharp placeholder crease. I did see two instances of a top corner crease, also three or four consecutive pages with a bottom corner crease. There are no markings in the book and no attachments of any kind. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1904. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Written by Henry James. First Edition (SD, 'Published, November, 1904' ). Volume II only. Once listed, this will, by far, be the least expensive copy of the first edition of the second volume. 'Set in England, this complex, intense study of marriage and adultery completes what some critics have called the "major phase" of James's career. The Golden Bowl explores the tangle of interrelationships between a father and daughter and their respective spouses. The novel focuses deeply and almost exclusively on the consciousness of the central characters, with sometimes obsessive detail but also with powerful insight.'
