About This Item
Octavo, 303pp., foxing on edges and endpapers, contemporary inscription on front free endpaper, bright original burgundy cloth with striking unsigned woodcut pictorial dustwrapper (bit chipped).
First Australian edition ‒ printed in Sydney by Angus & Robertson's Halstead Press with its colophon. A. & R. sold the English edition (with stylised wave pattern dustwrapper) locally before and after this local edition of 1000 copies was published & sold. Often mis-described as a crime novel, Mann preferred his working title 'The Disaffected', but this was changed by Angus & Robertson. Very scarce with dustwrapper.
