See Purdy, p. 86-87. This copy is possibly the first impression of the novel. Signatures A-H exist with page numbers on partially blank pages, as opposed to being an indiscriminate mix of the 2 states. This is similar to the state of Hardy's own copy, 5 presentation copies inscribed by him in November 1895 and the Bodleian, Cambridge and British Museum copies.
