I have this old copy of Huckleberry Finn.
The copyright on the inside indicates that it was from 1912 by Clara Gabrilowitsch. I did some research on her. She has a middle name of Clemens. The book has 405 pages. Red cloth cover. It was printed by Harper & Brothers Publishers, New York and London.
I looked all over and I cannot find an exact match to this book.
Has anyone ever seen such a copy of this great novel?
Here it is but it's in horrible shape. The cloth is torn, the binding loose, the pages. Well you see for youself.

Sold for 10.00 Dave
I bought the same book at an estate sale last weekend for 2 bucks... Its listed on ebay "buy it now" price at 60. I picked up the book more for it's collectible appeal and the recent scrutiny the originals have produced due to the overuse of the "n" word. I doubt it's really worth much now but in time I see it's value increasing.
