Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Book of R. L. S: Works, Travels, Friends, and Commentators The chief aim of this book is to provide a commentary on his works as far as possible from Stevenson´s own standpoint by showing the circumstances in which they were written, their history in his hands, and his judgments of them. Only works available in current volumes or the complete editions are included: no attempt has been made to deal with those of his contributions to periodicals which have not been reprinted. The scheme of the volume also embraces references to members of his family, and to his more or less intimate friends as well as the places directly associated with his wandering life. In developing this plan it was easy to make the work also a bibliography, and by the kindness of Mr. J. Herbert Slater the present values of first editions have been quoted from the latter´s Bibliographical Handbook, and from recent issues of ´Book Prices Current.´ The prices paid by collectors have shown great fluctuations, but chiefly in an upward direction, during the last few years. Most of those quoted have been paid during the present period of inflated currency, and therefore should be taken as more roughly approximate than such prices commonly are.
