A Man of Devon. Four stories.

First Edition (first printing) of probably his most uncommon book. 8vo. 306pp + [ii] + xxxii publisher's catalogues at rear. Blue cloth lettered in gold at the spine and in black at the upper board. Top edge dust soiled. Spine ends and corner tips rubbed. The cloth a little dust soiled, and the spine lettering just fractionally defective. W.H.Smith subscription library label partly removed from the front free endpaper (but with no further indications of institutional ownership). The binding cracked and tender at the half-title, and with some spotting and soiling to occasional leaf margins. Quite a bright copy of a notoriously scarce title: the author's fourth book and the final one published under his 'John Sinjohn' pseudonym. Includes the story 'The Salvation of Swithin Forsyte', the first appearance of a Forsyte character, entering here five years before 'A Man of Property'.
