About This Item
London: Methuen, 1924. First Edition. Hard Cover. First UK Edition. Publisher's orange cloth with black lettering to the spine and front board. A VG copy (slightly faded to the spine) and foxed to the page block edges which has crept into the text in places. There is an 8 page catalogue to the rear of this copy with the number 525 at the end - I believe that this catalogue was produced in May 1925 thus making this copy a first edition (second issue). [The first issue has adverts dated September 1923]. No DW. A rare book notwithstanding and surprisingly uncommon.
