First American edition, with the signature mark 1. (Blanck notes that the edition occurs both with and without the mark, that no sequence is established but that the reprint of 1872 does not have the mark present, implying that this may be the primary state.) The second book in the trilogy begun with Little Women (1868–9) and completed by Jo's Boys, and How They Turned Out (1886), this edition was published on 1 June 1871, preceded by the London edition published by Sampson Low, Son & Marston on 15 May.

Octavo. Original green sand-grain cloth, covers blocked in blind with thick and thin rule, front cover with central lettering enclosed by oval Greek key in gilt, brown endpapers. Frontispiece with tissue guard and 3 plates. Very light rubbing to extremities, a superb copy.
