the author's copy

The author's copy of his fourth book. Scarce thus, as it was rapidly pulped by the publishers after a litany of misprints and other errors.

First edition, first impression, the author's copy, signed on the title page; 8vo; author's address label to front pastedown, author's annotations to p.76 and p.108, faint offsetting to endpapers, else unmarked internally; publisher's green cloth, gilt lettering to spine, with the unclipped pictorial dust-jacket, slight dust-soiling and edge-wear, traces of external repair to top edge of rear panel, else very good.
