The First UK Printing published by Heinemann in 1925. The BOOK is in Very Good++ condition. Minor pushing at the spine ends and light bumping to the lower corners. Gilt titling remains very bright to the spine and the front cover. Offsetting to the end papers. Moderate spotting to the text block and to the prelims. Occasional spot to page edges in places. Previous owner's bookplate to the front pastedown. Free from inscriptions and erasures. The publication history of this title is complicated. This important novel was the cause of some senseless litigation. Maugham was forced to change several names ( Hong Kong, Happy Valley and The Peak) and a large number of cancels were tipped in with the offending names removed. There was also an author's note inserted. This is the usually found 'Second Issue'. There was also a much scarcer 'First Issue' which did not have any of the previous corrections or insertions above . According to Scott A33, there are three states of the 'First Issue'. The First State was never issued ( as far as is known). In the second state the reverse of the half title lists 8 titles by the same author with a review of each book. In the third state, 26 titles are mentioned. The copies of the second and third state were recalled by the publishers and corrected but it is thought 74 copies were not returned or accounted for - possibly review copies. This book is one of those 74 copies being the 'First Issue, Third State'. The book is accompanied by two letters ( dated 1931) from a London bookseller to the previous owner of this book (whose bookplate is on the front pastedown) explaining that he has been in touch with Heinemann publishers who have identified this copy as being one of the 74 copies which escaped correction and insertions. An exceedingly scarce title with such attributes. Ashtonrarebooks welcomes direct contact.
