Shaw gives himself away. An autobiographical miscellany.

Very good, binding slightly scuffed and faded, internally bright and clean.

Nash's design for the special edition was rejected by the Press Board, which often muddied its volumes by way of 'design by committee'. His binding is refreshingly distinct from contemporary Gregynog books.
