The Book of Khalid by Ameen Rihani. Illustrated by Khalil Gibran. Dodd, Mead and Company. 1911. First printing. "Published October, 1911" stated with no statement of later printings on the copyright page. 5.25" x 7.5" viii, 349 pages Hardcover with no dust jacket. Moderate cover edge wear with some bumping on cover tips. There is some discoloration from the top tip of the front cover, suggesting that there may have been some moisture. It seems to have minimal impact on any pages inside. There is also a slight one half inch in diameter stain on the top of the back cover. There is an erasure mark on the first blank page. There are a couple of paragraphs bracketed in a thin black ink in the'Al-Fatihah' chapter. I did find some similar marking in light pencil in the interior of the book, which I missed on first examination. No tears, folds or creases to pages. Binding is tight with no looseness to pages. Not ex-library, not remaindered and not a facsimile reprint. For sale by Jon Wobber, b
