very uncommon inscribed

Inscribed by the author on the on the front free endpaper, 'Charles Williams 14 Jan /31'. And with the armorial bookplate of one Reginald C. Land to the front paste down. One of the author's fine fantasy novels. In common with other inklings, Williams would seem to be a parsimonious inscriber of his books. This is especially true of the fiction. I have never really ascertained why this should be, but this is the first signed copy of Many Inventions we have handled.

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author; 8vo; publisher's green boards, titles to spine in black, with the dust jacket supplied from another copy, spine cocked, some foxing, boards a little marked; very good in the rubbed and sunned, lightly chipped dust jacket sometime supplied form another copy.
