London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, 1941. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine.
First U.K. edition, first edition overall with laid in letter signed by the author to his U.S. publisher regarding the book. In original unclipped jacket in clear protective sheet and a price of "7/6 net" on spine. Very slight creasing at edges and small chipping at head and tail of spine, otherwise fine. Blue cloth over boards with darker blue lettering to spine. Head and tail of spine slightly bumped, otherwise fine. Interior is clean, clear, and with a tight spine; pages evenly and lightly toned.
Laid in letter from the author, J. I. M. Stewart (pseudonym, Michael Innes). Dated 20 March 1941, and on The University Adelaide paper where J. I. M. Stewart was the Jury Professor of English at the time. The letter is addressed to Mr. Frank Dodd of Dodd Meade publishers in New York - the author's American publisher - and remarks on the speed at which his British publisher requested the manuscript be sent and a brief statement about the author's thoughts on the book and its best scene ["Achtung!"].

Sobre John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop
I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.
