About This Item
New York: Harper & Row, 1978. Very good.. Printed wrappers. Heraldic drawings by Scott-Giles (though not all were printed). Title label across bottom edge, staple in upper wrapper, but a very good copy, and of particular interest to Lord Peter Wimsey devotees. Uncorrected page proofs of the first U.S. edition. From the "Brief Description" that precedes the half-title: "During the thirties and forties Dorothy L. Sayers had a long and continuing correspondence with C. W. Scott-Giles, Fitzalan Pursuivant of Arms Extraordinary, a man extremely knowledgeable in heraldry. Together they explored the history of the Wimsey family taking it back as far as the Norman Conquest.
