About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1931. First edition. Small octavo, green and white wove cloth lettered in black on the spine, top page edge trimmed and coloured green, pp. [197]; illustrated. Leaf advertising "Eric Gill: Mason Sculptor", by Thorp is laid-in [originally tipped]. The original dust jacket has been over-printed in green by the publisher to read "First Cheap Edition", with a reduced price. The publisher has clipped the original price from the front flap. This constellation of points is slightly different from what Evan Gill mentions as a known variant in his bibliography. Previous owner's name and initials neatly written on front endpapers, several leaves roughly opened, else very good in a [price-clipped] dust jacket with a small chip to rear gutter, short tears to front panel and head of the spine, spine ends slightly worn, and slight over-all dust soiling. Gill A22b..
