Small 8vo. Pp. 52. Acknowledgement for credit to previous publishers is signed by the initials of Acton and Quennell. Erratum slip tipped in at p. 24, correcting a Brian Howard poem. Dark blue paper-covered boards over japon vellum binding. Printed paper labels to cover and spine. Leaves mostly unopened. Bottom edge untrimmed. Slight foxing to spine, with a tad of dust-soiling to top edge. With removable clear acetate jacket. Acton and Quennell edited the volume and also contribute three poems each. A Who's Who of the Bright Young Things, the contributors are illustrious and, in the instances of promise unfulfilled, notorious. Acton's three poems would later appear in "An Indian Ass" (1925).
