About This Item
J. M. Dent & Sons Ltd/ Everyman's Library, 1936. Good. First Everyman edition. 8vo, pp. (xii), 340, (16) catalogue. Dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and the blind embossed Ravilious-designed icon to upper board. With the abstract repeating-pattern illustrated endpapers and the Theology and Philosophy Ravilious woodcut to the title page. Rubbing and light soiling to boards, spine sunned. Bumps to top and bottom edges. Else, clean and tight. Perhaps unsurprisingly, neither 'Sexual Inversion' nor 'The Psychology of Sex' are extracted here.
