Description

London: Constable, 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. 12mo, 77pp. A fine, fresh, unread copy in the publisher's light green cloth. In a very good example of the impossibly brittle dust jacket, split very neatly atthe front outer joint and repaired with archival tape on the verso. Some toning to extremities, and a few tiny chips, but presenting nicely. This copy SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Shaw on the half-title page, and scarce thus: "Inscribed to M. [Mr.] George R. Bolton, G. Bernard Shaw Letchworth 16th May 1931." Letchworth Garden City, just a dozen miles from Shaw's home in Ayot St. Lawrence, was a magnet for Shaw and a number of other pacifists and socialist-oriented writers, such as George Orwell. Some Google sleuthing indicates that a George R. Bolton was a working librarian at the time of this inscription in the town of Watford, quite close to both Letchworth and Ayot St. Lawrence. "The Apple Cart" is considered by many critics to be among Shaw's last great works; in some ways a departure from his Fabian politics, being a slightly reactionary monarchist critique of some of the more lurid aspects of democratic political institutions.

Or, maybe you've collected modern novels from the last thirty or fifty years. No matter what kinds of books you have, we'd love to take a look at them! We travel throughout Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, southern Michigan, and eastern Indiana, and will travel farther in some cases to look at whole libraries or even just a few particularly interesting books.
