Rare first American edition of Robert Louis Stevenson's masterpiece ''Treasure Island.'' Roberts Brothers: Boston: 1884. This first printing volume bears the telltale point, ''rain'' instead of ''vain'' erroneously printed on page 40. This volume is rarer than the English first edition and is also the first illustrated. Stevenson's tale of pirates was his first to attain success enough to launch his career as an author. It had a lasting influence on the portrayals of buccaneering and public perception of the entire genre. Bound in brown cloth boards with black lettering and design. Runs 292pp. and measures 5.5'' x 7.5''. Spine is cocked. Wear to spine ends, exterior hinges and board edges and corners. Detached frontispiece. Very good.
