Description: Walden, by Henry David Thoreau 1862 Edition scarcer than 1854 1st edition. This 1862 second edition of Walden is much scarcer than the 1854 (very expensive) first edition. There were only 280 copies printed as compared to 2000 of the first edition. At Thoreau’s request, the “Life in the Woods” portion of the title was removed. This volume is tight and square with no writing or markings inside. The pages are slightly age-toned but there is no foxing present. Approximately 1/8 inch is torn at the upper spine head and about 3/4 of an inch of cloth is scrunched at the bottom. Bottom corners of the boards are slightly bumped. There is some water staining to the bottom edge of some pages but the damage is minimal. Please see photographs as they are part of the item description. All in all this is a very good example of a very rare edition of an American classic, Walden. Please feel free to ask questions and/or request additional photographs. Thanks for looking!
