About this Item

First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 254pp + a tipped in one-page advertisement for Nichols' 'Down the Garden Path', as issued. Black cloth lettered in red at the spine and upper board. Publisher's maroon stain to the top edge. Tips of two corners gently knocked, backstrip lettering very slightly defective and with a single miniscule nick to the cloth. An extremely crisp and bright copy in the quite striking octopus dust wrapper, price-clipped, lightly tanned at spine panel, a little dust marked and with a tiny area of loss to the lower edge of the rear panel, another enclosed fraction of loss to the spine panel and a third, slightly larger area to the head of the spine panel, impacting the first word of the title. A very good copy of the author's equally celebrated and controversial pacifist Great War novel, loathed by Francis Yeats-Brown (who called it "a masterpiece of making drivel sound convincing" and went so far as to publish a repost, 'Dogs of War!', the following year).
