About This Item
London: Heinemann, 1930. First Edition. First impression. Signed by Tomlinson on the front endpaper. From the library of Hollywood filmmaker and noted bibliophile Frank Capra (1897-1991), with his pencil signature to front endpaper, with additional annotation, apparently in his hand, noting two errors in the text. Octavo. Black cloth hardcover; dustjacket,539pp. A few faint specks of foxing to upper edge of text block, else a pristine copy in the original, unclipped dustwrapper; very Near Fine, with deep, rich color on the spine panel. Retains the publisher's original wrap-around advertising band. Housed in Capra's standard folding chemise and slipcase of black cloth, lightly worn on exterior but still Very Good or better.
Tomlinson's great but neglected novel of the First World War, derived loosely from his own experiences as a British Army correspondent in France in 1917. There was a signed, limited issue, but signed copies of the trade edition are infrequently seen, especially in such fine condition. This copy is listed as part of a five-volume lot of Tomlinson novels in the catalog of Parke-Bernet's 1949 sale of highlights from Capra's library (Lot 359).
