About This Item
London / New York: Duckworth / Albert & Charles Boni, 1927. First edition of each volume. "So, loving New York, next to Provence, better than any other place, he lets himself go and writes of her as he would talk to his mother or his mistress, being very fond of them" -- from Ford's introduction. London edition is crisp and near fine lacking dust jacket. New York edition is likewise crisp and near fine with spine ends gently pushed and just a touch of rubbing to tips; in good to very good dust jacket with small hole in spine and chipping to spine ends though not affecting any lettering.
