About This Item
This is one of the three most collectible novels that Waugh issued in this golden period during the 1930s. Comic satire of genuis. The first page even mentions the additional value of a signed first edition. This copy is Very Good, no dust jacket, and not signed!
Synopsis
In SCOOP , a "newspaper adventure," Evelyn Waugh tells the tale of garden coulumnist William Boot gets sent to Ishmaelia to cover a war, finds everything but a war, and returns as a golden child of British media. Altogether a fine, ascerbic, British satire on the print media in the 1930's.
