London: Constable, 1939. First Edition. Hard Cover. Dust Jacket. (London: Constable 1939). First UK edition in First Issue dustwrapper priced 7/6 net to the inside flap. Publisher's black boards with gilt lettering to the spine. Boards exceptionally bright and clean. A small newspaper clipping of the Author to the front paste-down, faint offsetting to both sets of end-papers and a slightly dusty top-edge overall a near fine copy (with NO inscriptions). The near fine dustwrapper is complete with a touch of toning to the spine and a tiny bit of rubbing/miniscule loss to the tip and tail of the spine. A stunning anomaly within the literary oeuvre of Patrick Hamilton. One of the Author's scarcest works. A much nicer copy than normally seen. Photographs/scans available upon request.

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.
