About This Item
London: Chapman and Hall, 1938. First edition, first printing. Published by Chapman and Hall in 1938. This is a very good copy - bound in recent red leather with five raised bands, gilt titles and marbled endpapers - beautifully bound. Some foxing follows on the preliminaries. This copy is free from previous ink and overall in very good condition
Synopsis
In SCOOP , a "newspaper adventure," Evelyn Waugh tells the tale of garden coulumnist William Boot gets sent to Ishmaelia to cover a war, finds everything but a war, and returns as a golden child of British media. Altogether a fine, ascerbic, British satire on the print media in the 1930's.
