About This Item

Victor Gollancz, London, 1939. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First UK Edition (first printing). 8vo. 286pp. Blue cloth lettered in blue at the spine. Backstrip faded and tips of two corners gently knocked. Former owner bookplate to the front pastedown, alongside a small dealer plate, and five digits inkstamped to the corner of the front free endpaper (presumably a private library reference code). An extremely crisp copy. No dust wrapper. The author's second book, a collection of four novellas which received an extremely favourable reception and permitted him sufficient financial freedom to begin his seminal work, 'Native Son'. This UK edition is significantly more uncommon than the US edition which appeared a year earlier..
