This is sometimes incorrectly identified as the First American edition of Virginia Woolf's first novel. The confusion is easy to understand, for various reasons. The best source of information on identifying this (and a number of other classic modern classics is the three volume Author Price Guide by Allen & Patricia Ahearn (Quill & Brush, 2001). This is the 2nd U.S. edition of The Voyage Out and 5th (!) overal edition, due to the fact there are technically 3 previous British editions and the actual First American Edition, published in 1920 by George H. Doran. There is no publication date on this Harcourt, Brace & compnay edition. There is only, 1920 copyright by Doran. It was finally published in 1926, in a print run of 1000. 'Sky blue' cloth with 'mauve' paper spine label printed in black affixed toward spine head. The cloth has turned with age and sunning to three distinct colors.
