Alfred A Knopf, New York, 1942, first English edition; 8vo, 150 x 212mm; pp [xvii], 280, [7, being publisher catalogues and a note on the technicalities of the book's typesetting and related information on Janson]; blue cloth, spine gilt, pictorial dustwrapper a little frayed but overall in good condition. . . . The work was published simultaneously in the US by Knopf and Canada by Ryerson, copies being supplied in the UK of the US version with a discreet sticker on the inner flap of the dust wrapper indicating publication there by Secker and Warburg, London. This particular copy was sent by Secker & Warburg to A L Rowse to review and contains extensive jottings in pencil throughout as well as loose inserts, being a commission letter from the Observer, a review identifying note from Secker & Warburg, and notes by Rowse. . . . Rowse's views of the book and of Mann are, as one might expect, acerbic and far from flattering.
