First edition, first impression. 8vo. Original white cloth, spine lettered in magenta, pale blue endpapers, dust jacket. London, Desmond Harmsworth, 1933.
The author’s scarce first novel, and one of the most perfectly designed books of its era. Examples as nice as this are very uncommon. A very good copy, minor cockling to the free endpapers, couple of smudges to the perilous white cloth. Dust jacket somewhat marked and lightly chipped with a small puncture to the front panel.
