CORBETT, James. The Man who Saw the Devil. London: Herbert Jenkins. 1934. 8vo. First edition. Red cloth with black lettering and ruling to edges. Lacking the dust jacket. The first printing of this Hubin-listed “rewriting of Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886), in which neither personality is aware of the other's existence." (Clute and Nicholls, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction (1993), p. 264). A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, slightly marked in places but retaining the bright orange red of HJ cloth. Corners and tips gently bumped, the binding tight and very gently rolled. The binding tight. Some stains and marks to the textblock edges, top edge dust-marked. Internally clean, some light scattered foxing to prelims and occasionally throughout, but an attractive example of the first printing.
