Internally clean. Dust jacket condition: good. Some chipping with slight loss to head & tail of spine and to corners. Generally a little rubbed and light soiling. Spine somewhat faded.

Synopsis
Put Out More Flags, the sixth novel by Evelyn Waugh, was first published by Chapman and Hall in 1942. The novel is set during the first year of the Second World War, and follows the wartime activities of characters introduced in Waugh's earlier satirical novels Decline and Fall, Vile Bodies and Black Mischief. The title of the novel comes from the saying of an anonymous Chinese sage, quoted and translated by Lin Yutang in The Importance of Living (1937).
