About This Item
London: John Lane at the Bodley Head. 1946. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Original illustrated paper-covered boards, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in colour by Rex Whistler. A better than very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities a little rubbed, the foot of the spine with a short closed tear. The contents, with very faint offsetting to the endpapers, are otherwise clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased original dustwrapper which is a little dusty and has a few short closed tears to the extremities. Not price-clipped (5s. to the both flaps). An unusual book featuring Rex Whistler's 'Reversible Faces' accompanied by his brother's humorous verse. The book can be read either way up, right down the the blurb on the dustwrapper flaps. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
