About This Item
London: Jonathan Cape, 1929. First edition, first printing, second-state. Published by Jonathan Cape, London, in 1929. SIGNED. This is a very good copy. This is the expurgated second-state, without the Siegfried Sassoon poem. The supplied dust wrapper, designed by Len Lye and with the authors photograph by Alfred Cracknell, is generally clean but with mild handling marks. There is slight rubbing to the edges and a slight spot of soiling to the rear panel. It has been neatly price clipped, but retains the 10s. 6d. net price. The ex-Libris label pasted to the front end-paper is that of Michael Bernard Thorold, a member of the Scots Guard and peerage. The boards have a little light chipping to the top and tail of the spine and slight fading, but remain tight and sharp at the corners. The authors signature is present on the full title page in blue ink, and dated to 1979, fifty years after the publication date. Overall, this is a very good copy of a fine, but controversial work. It was my bitter leave-taking of England," he wrote in a prologue to the revised second edition of 1957, "where I had recently broken a good many conventions".
