Chatto and Windus London, 1928 Full yellow buckram on heavy boards. Number 122 of only 255 copies so issued. Signed underneath the number by the author in black ink. Very good book without dust jacket. A tight clean copy nevertheless, with a sunned spine. Gilt titling has therefore faded a bit. Soft corners and a bit foxed inside, as is usual. The text block is gilt on the trimmed top edge, other edges are handsomely ragged. Very much a collectable despite my description.
