London: Hollis and Carter, 1957. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Dust Jacket Included. London, Hollis and Carter, 1957 [first edition]. Octavo, xvi, 552 pages plus 17 pages of plates. Cloth slightly flecked; edges, endpapers and occasional margins throughout the book are a little foxed; ownership details on both flyleaves; a few ink checkmarks to the bibliography; a very good copy with the dustwrapper a little rubbed, marked and chipped with slight loss. Loosely inserted is a typed letter signed by Belloc to the previous owner; it is one page, octavo, on 'GK's Weekly' letterhead. It is dated 10 August 1936, and is written in reply to a letter sent to Belloc after the death of Chesterton (in January 1936); 'naturally we must notice the loss of so big a man, all who loved him will wish to see his work carried on until it is inevitably appreciated as it deserves'. Two related newspaper clippings are also in the book.
