First American Edition (First published, February, 1932, on copyright page) of Lewis's satire of the postwar bohemian elite. 8vo: [4],625,[3]pp. Publisher's grey cloth, the spine and upper cover titled and trimmed in red, with a red top stain and untrimmed fore- and bottom edges; in the original dust jacket lettered in red and decorated in green by Lewis with vorticist figures, priced at $3.00.
