Original pictorial paper-covered boards over a yellow cloth spine with black titles. In the uncommon dust jacket, which is a bit toned along the spine and folds. Better than very good.

Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1920. First U.S. edition (published in the UK in 1919). Small octavo, pp. [i-v] vi [1-3] 4-170 [171: blank] [172: printer's imprint]. Original pictorial paper-covered boards with yellow cloth shelf-back. A fine copy in fine pictorial dust jacket. A lovely book, especially in this condition. #1195. $200. Blanchard A48. Not a novel so much as an informal philosophical colloquium concerned with political and cultural issues of the day. Some twenty individuals of varied background and perspective converse at a house party in Scotland. Appearing right after the end of World War I, the novel strikes a general tone that would now strike most readers as remarkably cool and collected.

First Edition
First Edition. Original illustrated boards, cloth spine, original illustrated dustjacket. The First American edition of this early Buchan title written with his wife, Susan. Nearly impossible Buchan title to be found in dustjacket. The book is unfortunately not an adventure novel, but a fictional examination of current events, in which "politicians, soldiers, labor leaders - American, French, and English in nationality. brilliantly discuss the most interesting current problems, the Peace Treaty, League of Nations, labor reform, etc." Near Fine, some soiling to top page edge, in Very Good plus dustjacket, few nicks to spine ends and flap corners.
