Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. "This edition of the Works of Max Beerbohm is limited to seven hundred and eighty sets, of which seven hundred and fifty are for sale and thirty for presentation. This is No.382." Signed by Max Beerbohm on the verso of the half-title page of the volume titled 'The Works of Max Beerbohm'. Books all have a firm binding and the covers are bright and clean, although the covers of the 'Works of' volume have heavily faded. Contents are clean but there is some tanning on end papers and a little on some preliminary pages, and top and fore-edges. All volumes have the extra paper labels but being tipped in between the rear end papers, some of these have been tanned. The somewhat utilitarian dust jackets are all present but some have darkened spines, edge wear and a general wear and tear look. All books dated 1922 except the volumes Around Theatres 1924 and A Variety of Things 1928. (Will make a heavy parcel and so exceed the postage template advertised. Not suitable for overseas sale). Signed by Author(s).
