About This Item
The First Printing published by Three Mountains Press and Contact Editions, Paris in 1925. The first issue was published one year before the first American trade edition, and eight years before the first UK trade edition. This copy does not have the London distributor's imprint blocked out. The BOOK is in Very Good condition. Original green printed self-wrappers. A very fragile production with the wrappers being totally inadequate for the heavy coated stock used for the text, and most copies, have to a varying extent, become detached from their wrappers over time. The front wrapper has become detached from the spine but otherwise, this copy remains firmly bound to its spine and rear cover. There is some loss at the spine ends and to the spine folds. The wrapper has cracked in places along the spine but is still very adherent to the text-block. Light age related markings to the wrappers. Internally some very light spotting to a few pages in places with some light toning to the text-block. Free from inscriptions. The debut novel from the English modernist author. A 'war-fairy-tale' with Aleister Crowley inspired occult and spiritual elements. The book is protected and comes together well in a removable Mylar archival cover. Despite its faults, this copy presents very well. A very scarce title to find in commerce in such collectible condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
