Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 5th or later Edition. Gorgeous large format book is a true labour of love. Originally published in 1893, this is only the 5th edition of this book, a facsimile of the 1972 edition replete with hundreds of Aubrey Beardsley's stunning, breathtaking illustrations, both full-page and smaller chapter headi…ngs, also a frontis self-portrait a two separate title pages; the cover boasts a gorgeous embossed gilt design on the black boards by Beardsley as well, and the top edge is also gilt. The book is essentially As New, with only a few of tiny, faint marks on the fore & lower page edge, pages are clean, binding is tight. The unclipped DJ features the same gilt illustration as the boards, and has light surface wear, mild edge wear, and slight rubbing of the top corner. Black slipcase has light surface wear and is very firm. Dispatched from the UK same or next working day. NB: Due to the utter stupidity of Brexit, parcels sent to the EU may incur customs charges. Heavy book will require extra postage if shipping overseas.

Add to basketHard Cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hard cover, 8vo., [2], 314, [4] pp. In publisher's orange cloth binding with black lettering to spine. In the original unclipped dust jacket. No other stated printings. **CONDITION: Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket. Foxing to fore-edge of text b…lock visible when book closed. Otherwise clean, with no inscription. Dust jacket has dust-soiling and some closed tears to top edge. ** An odd assortment of British writers combine to make this anthology of short stories published between the wars strangely compelling. The writers were connected in real life (e.g. John Gawsworth gave Hugh MacDiarmid a place to stay in London, and was a huge admirer of Arthur Machen), but as writers they showcase a wide array of styles: MacDiarmid writes Scots dialect in a modernist style worthy of Joyce's Molly Bloom, Machen sees ancient ritual in the streets of modern London, and T.F. Powys creates a study of a marginalized Eleanor Rigby-like woman, tending to an abandoned church. The introduction by John Rowland insists that these works thus assembled convey a "message", discernible by the "sensitive reader". Every reader will no doubt have their own response to these sometimes unsettling vignettes, whose shared characteristic is of lives lived on the edge.** Editor John Herbert Shelley Rowland (1907-1984) was the author of a number of detective novels such as "Death on Dartmoor" (1936), "The Cornish Riviera Mystery" (1939), and "Gunpowder Alley" (1941). A scarce title. (AJ). Book.
