London: The James Press, 1939. Second edition. Gray buckram w/ gilt stars; t.e.g. Large 4to. One of 412 copies (this no. 388). Inscribed in full by the author in Hollywood and dated 1964, "to Chuck and Tucker for being so patient from the crazy author...." With twenty-six decorations by Rex Whistler. The rare first edition (525 were planned, according to the author only about a sixth were bound) was suppressed by the author and the sheets were used for this second edition which was expanded. A fine copy (lacking the card slipcase) of a lovely production, scarce signed. James (1907 - 1984) was a British poet, best known for his patronage of the arts, in particular surrealist art. He spent many years in Mexico and Los Angeles. Rex Whistler (1905 - 1944) was a well-known British artist, one of the "Bright Young Things", he was killed during the Normandy Invasion. Prolific and active in many areas, he illustrated a number of books, and designed a carpet for James which is featured in James' West Dean House.
