About This Item
London: Saccone & Speed Ltd. [1947]. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Signed limited edition. Publisher's binding of full claret sheep with titles in the gilt to the spine. With two colour illustrations by Rex Whistler. An excellent near fine copy with just light rubbing at the extremities of the ever so slightly faded spine. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. A very attractive example, the binding of which is prone to heavy wear and loss. An essay commissioned by Evelyn Waugh's London vintners Saccone & Speed. Issued in a limited edition of only 100 numbered copies, this copy numbered 83 and signed in blue ink by Evelyn Waugh on the limitation page. A trade edition was published later the same year. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
