1915ref. 187-8Handsome leather-bound revised edition. Clean tight and unmarked. An excellent example for collectors seeking a well-preserved Kipling without later rebinding. First published in 1888 Plain Tales from the Hills introduced the world to Rudyard Kipling's sharp unsentimental and often darkly humorous vision of British colonial life in India. These interconnected stories—drawn from Kipling's early journalistic work—capture the contradictions of empire with remarkable clarity: loneliness ambition moral compromise and the quiet absurdities of power. This 1915 Doubleday Page & Company revised edition is presented in an elegant full leather binding with gilt lettering to the spine. The revised text reflects Kipling's later refinements while preserving the immediacy and bite that made these stories his literary breakthrough. A handsome and highly readable volume this copy balances literary significance with aesthetic presence making it equally appealing for collectors Kipling enthusiasts or those building a refined classic literature library.

1938ref. CNSZ08London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1938. Hardcover. Very good. Volumes I through XXVI and Volume XXVIII quarto size approx. 6650 total pages signed by Rudyard Kipling in Volume I. Rudyard Kipling 1865-1936 is perhaps best known today for "The Jungle Book" however he was prolific with a list almost too long to count of novels short stories poems and travel literature. In 1907 at the age of 41 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature the first English language writer to receive the award and the youngest recipient to date n.b. above information from Wiki. This set of his works "The Bombay Edition" has Kipling's signature in the first volume and is printed on paper especially made for the edition bearing the watermark "R elephant-headed Ganesha with swastika and lotus K". Note: for those who may not be aware of this the swastika was originally used as a symbol of many types of good wishes: health luck success etc.; it's usage goes back as far as the 4th century BCE - or perhaps even earlier. It is in use in many Eastern religions even today as a symbol of divinity - it was in all of these positive aspects that Kipling used the symbol. It wasn't until the appropriation of the symbol by the Nazi party in the early 20th century that it came to mean to many in Western and European cultures a symbol of hatred and anti-Semitism. The first twenty-five volumes issued in an edition of 1050 copies the first eight volumes in 1913 volumes nine through twenty-two in 1914 volume twenty-three in 1915 volume twenty-four in 1917 and volume twenty-five in 1919. It was not until 1927 that volume twenty-six was published obviously due to the Great War and the final five volumes being issued in 1938 these final volumes issued in an edition of only 500 copies. This has had the result that many available sets do not contain the later volumes. This set consists of volumes one through twenty-six consecutively with the addition of volume twenty-eight. ___DESCRIPTION: Each volume bound in half natural linen over blue paper-covered boards paper spine labels top edges gilt fore- and bottom edges uncut volumes one through twenty-five with the Ex-Libris of Albert Julian Pell on the front pastedown see Provenance below Kipling's signature in black ink on the edition fore-title each volume with the volume title page in blue and black each story with a blue initial capital each volume with a colophon with a Kipling's device in blue most but not all volumes with spare spine labels tipped in at the rear flyleaf; bindings are quarto size 9 7/8" by 6 3/4" pagination ranges from 135 to 357 pp.; note that the paper covering the boards on volume twenty-four does not match the other volumes it is close in colour but different in texture since the Ex-Libris matches the others in the set we surmise it was issued this way but our bibliography is silent on that issue; also note that volumes twenty-six and twenty-eight were acquired separately see notes below. ___CONDITION: The set is overall in solid very good condition; the bindings clean although the blue paper now shows offsetting from the glue a bit of very light bumping to the head and tail of the spines the spine labels all sunned and some with light wear strong square text blocks with mostly solid hinges a few tender or slightly cracked but still holding most corners lightly rubbed a few board edges lightly dinged the interiors mostly clean and bright a few pages with light foxing and other than the Ex-Libris free of prior owner markings. Exceptions to this that we see include a prior bookseller pencilled marking above the Ex-Libris in volume one the bottom front corner of volume seven appears to have been bent at some point both hinges in volume thirteen were repaired at some point with what appears to be archival paper but we cannot be certain volume twenty-four with a dark stain on the upper portion of the spine whatever caused that did not penetrate into the book as the interior is fine and there is also a small light stain on the front board volume twenty-five with a light scratch on the front board volume twenty-six has the note from Robert Kirkman to Serendipity books see Provenance below loosely laid in and in addition to overall soil there is some damage to the fore-edge of the front board and the first few leaves along with some short pencilled notes on the front and rear pastedowns; volume twenty-eight is ex-library with the library stamp on the spine near the tail as well as library markings to the front pastedown including the residue of the removal of the library pocket the binding somewhat shaken and a few gutters lightly cracked. ___PROVENANCE: Volumes one through twenty-five with the armorial Ex-Libris of Albert Julian Pell 1863-1916 with the motto "mente manuque" "With mind and hand". Pell graduated from Merton College Oxford and practised law. He attained the rank of Captain and Hon. Major in the 4th Battalion Suffolk Regiment and shortly before the outbreak of the Great War was attached to the General Staff of the Western Command. Volume twenty-six was acquired separately by U.K. bookseller Robert Kirkman Ltd. who sold it to Serendipity Books Oakland California; we have their note dated 21st March 2006 indicating that "remaining volumes will follow"; this set has volume twenty-eight but not twenty-seven oddly; and these final two volumes without the Ex-Libris of Major Pell. ___CITATION: Livingston pp. 454-456. ___POSTAGE: Please note that due to the size and weight of this set additional postage will apply for both domestic and international customers; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
