The First UK printing published by Duckworth, London in 1926. The BOOK is in near Fine condition and appears unread. Orange cloth stamped in black. Grey-blue top-stain still bright. The binding is very tight. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition with just a very small closed tear to the front lower spine fold. The book has been stored away for most of its life, so consequently there is no toning to the spine of the wrapper. The wrapper looks very striking in the removable Brodart archival wrapper. The book has been inscribed by the author to the second blank end-paper : ' For, W.S. Maugham, with affection, homage, and fear, from Osbert Sitwell, 2. Oct. 1926'. The recipient was the acclaimed writer (William) Somerset Maugham and presumably this inscription was written soon after the book was published. 'Maugham had known Sitwell at least as early as February 1922, for he was one of the guests at Maugham's dinner party in which Sinclair Lewis demonstrated his drunken and boorish behaviour ' (A William Somerset Maugham Encyclopaedia by Samuel J. Rogal). An exceptionally sharp copy of this, the author's first novel. A significant association copy. Collectible. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
