This is a 1974 edition of Dead Souls. Purchased for me in St. Petersburg by a fellow Slavic Studies student. Cheers, F.C.!
This is inside the front cover.
This is an example of the pages and illustrations inside, although it looks more like a confusing picture of a cheap jade elephant. I was having trouble figuring out how to keep the book open without getting my fingertips in the picture. The elephant may not have been the best compromise.
This is the back cover, complete with an inscription. I think the jade elephant is marginally less conspicuous here--although my homemade macro studio is more obvious.

that is a very handsome book. also, i like the addition of the elephant. he brings a sense of whimsy to the photos. whimsy + handsome = awesome
