    "We" was first published in July, 1927 not long after the author Charles Lindberg's famous flight across the Atlantic. This book became immensely popular and the publisher had trouble keeping up. My copy is a 22nd print round which is dated December, 1927, which perhaps gives you an idea. It's still a pretty common book today, but what makes this unusual is the well preserved slipcase and dust jacket. Needless to say, I think it's gorgeous and believe me, it's pure eye candy while standing freely on the book shelf.
