Woolf, Virginia (1882-1941) Orlando . New York: Crosby Gaige, 1928. First edition, signed by Woolf in purple ink on the verso of the half-title, limited edition, copy 580 of 800 numbered signed copies, in publisher's cloth, sunned, with a little loss at the head, and a short tear in the cloth.

Escaping gender completely, Orlando lives sometimes as a man and other times as a woman, right into the 20th century.
