Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. The Unicorn Press. 1931. London. Hardcover (no dust jacket). Octavo. Fair. Red cloth, with gilt lettering to spine. Neatly inscribed by author on half-title page with fountain pen (a general inscription, not to an individual). After his signature Bason has written 'in London 1947'. This is copy number 739 of 950 print…ed. Book shows wear commensurate with its age. There is a circular stain to upper left cover, which is not terribly intrusive, as the stain itself is light and has taken on the red color of the cover. There is some soiling to the back few pages. I observed a tiny spot of foxing at the spine on two separate pages. There is edgewear to top board of back cover. Back endpaper is soiled and chafed in spots. Book has a unique feature. In this edition the author has added additional information - with a fountain pen - in four separate areas. 78 pages.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Numbered. 8vo in blue cloth, titles and device in gilt, beveled boards, blue marbled endsheets. As stated on the title page verso: Of this limited edition there have been printed on / antique laid paper 950 copies, numbered, / and on mould-made paper / 50 copies, numbered / and signed / by / W. S…omerset Maugham / This signed copy is number 1 / [in manuscript] THE AUTHOR'S OWN COPY / [signature W. Somerset Maugham] / & / [signature Fred T. Bason]. At the bottom of the page in very small handwriting is the note (One of 4 copies signed by us both. Specially bound) / FTB. This copy is in blue cloth; all other 946 copies are in red cloth. The spine is sunned, and there is some uneven sunning to both boards, moderate rubbing to the corners and spine ends. A fair amount of notes in pencil in Bason's hand. The book is accompanied by a single 8-1/2 X 11 sheet, entirely filled with manuscript in what appears to be Bason's hand, and what appears to be a draft of his chapter on Of Human Bondage. It is in the format of a bibliography, and has much the same language as in the chapter that actually appears in the book. When we bought this book, this manuscript page was folded and laid in. Laid into the fold was 10 pieces of correspondence from Maugham to his literary agent, W. Morris Colles. We are keeping the archive together with the book. The correspondence is in the form of four Bath Club cards and six letters, all dated between 1899 and 1906, all signed WSMaugham, or W. Somerset Maugham; only one signed with just initials. One of the 1899 letters makes reference to Stephen Carey, the early novel that was not published but after much revision eventually evolved into Of Human Bondage. Photos and transcriptions are available on request. Signed By Author.
