    First edition, deluxe issue. Number 16 of only 20 copies reserved for presentation by the author. Original red cloth, spine lettered in gilt, top edge stained red. Author's presentation copy, inscribed by Waugh, "For Lovelace Anthony Stamer with all good wishes for his future happiness from Evelyn Waugh, 1st January 1948". A very good copy indeed, with fading to the spine and some mottling to the boards. Tipped in colour frontispiece of a portrait of the author by Henry Lamb and one fold-out map. Given by Waugh to Stamer on the occasion of his first marriage, to Stella Huguette Binnie. Edited selections from the author's early travel writing: Labels, Remote People, Ninety-two Days and Waugh in Abyssinia.
