Description
Doubleday, Doran & Co., 1930. Hardback Early printing, not first. Very Good condition. Tan cloth with black decoration and lettering. Very light fading on spine. Decoration is crisp and bright. Light shelfwear. Top edge red. Fore-edge untrimmed. Previous owner inscription on first free endpaper dated Nov. 1930. Hinges sound. Very nice copy, printed on thick, cream-colored paper, aesthetically very pleasant. Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) is sometimes best remembered for her relationship with Virginia Woolf, though she had a long, productive literary career of her own. This is one of her several best-selling novels of the English upper classes.
spine : The outer portion of a book which covers the actual binding. The spine usually faces outward when a book is placed on a shelf. Also known as the back. endpaper : The double leaves bound into a book at the front and rear after printing. One side is glued to the inner portion of the boards (the paste-down) and the other is left loose (free endpaper). crisp : A term often used to indicate a book's new-like condition. Indicates that the hinges are not loosened. A book described as crisp will not have 'well-read' pages, i.e., where the book will naturally open to certain pages or sections. Cloth : Generally refers to a hardcover with cloth covering the outside of the book covers. shelfwear : Minor wear resulting from a book being place on, and taken from a bookshelf, especially along the bottom edge.
