About This Item
Octavo, original plain oatmeal buckram with 3/6 "Cheap Edition" pictorial dustwrapper (bit chipped and sunned on spine).
Sixth impression (May 1930).
First printing with the rare publisher's paper dustwrapper ‒ replacing the 'transmatic' (clear cellophane with attached printed paper flaps) dustwrapper issued with the earlier 1930 impressions.
Manning's Great War novel was issued by the publisher Peter Davies in two editions ‒ in 1929 as The Middle Parts of Fortunes under his Piazza Press imprint in a two volume subscription edition of 520 numbered copies, and as a one volume (expurgated) trade edition ('with certain prunings and excisions') as Her Privates We in January 1930.
The novel was published under Manning's regimental number until 1943
