presentation copy

A superb association copy with Berners' presentation inscription to the front free endpaper. The recipient was Clarissa Spencer-Churchill, who married as his second wife in 1952, Anthony Eden, soon to be Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; frontispiece by the author and three photographs; publisher's blue cloth, titles to upper board and spine in silver. A very good copy.
