The Sussex Edition of the Complete Works in Prose and Verse of Rudyard Kipling. 35 volumes Complete Set
Macmillan and Co. Ltd London Sussex Edition 1937-39. Limited edition of 525 sets of which 500 signed by the author were for sale. However many of these were destroyed when the publisher's warehouse was bombed in 1941. 35 vols royal 8vo full russet Niger morocco handmade paper top edges rough-gilded other edges untrimmed. several thousand pages. The Sussex edition is the definitive edition of Kipling's works splendidly produced and much sought after by collectors. Some contemporary Macmillan advertising material described it thus: "The Sussex Edition had been planned some years before the author's death and was designed to rank as the definitive edition of all his works in prose and verse in the most complete and handsome form. Kipling had undertaken a detailed revision of the text for this purpose and had autographed and numbered the first volume of each set. He left behind him careful instructions regarding the unpublished or uncollected writings which are so conspicuous and interesting a feature of the Sussex Edition. This material includes over sixty stories articles and speeches besides such groups of papers as The War in the Mountains Eyes of Asia and Brazilian Sketches none of them previously published in book form if at all in this country and the whole of his early or uncollected verse." From a contemporary review in the TLS: "The publishers are justified in the use of the epithet "superb" to describe this edition. The fine hand-made paper and Bembo type are equally satisfactory : but perhaps the binding is still more notable. It is . Niger leather lettered and simply ornamented in gold. The volumes though ten inches by six and three quarter inches in size are comparatively slim and so easy to hold; and they have an air of durability and of being meant for reading as well as for keeping which is not always the case with �ditions de luxe. Set No. 15 signed by Kipling. Unobtrusive 1 cm scratch to spine of volume 7 some spine bands just a trifle rubbed otherwise a splendid Fine set. Contents exceptionally clean with many volumes largely unopened. Macmillan and Co. Ltd, London, Sussex Edition, 1937-39 unknown
