Sobre este artículo
Garden City: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc, 1933. Hardcover. 300p., first American edition in fine black cloth boards titled and decorated gilt, and enclosed in the dust jacket. Top edge tinted red. The casebinding is bright (both cloth and gilt) and square, a very presentable copy with one big problem and several minor ones: biggest, that the first half of text bears occasional underlines or small marginal brackets. These pencilings are erasable, and few enough to tackle, but unfortunately the soft thick paperstock on which this Maugham is printed gets minutely rucked up by even a superior eraser. So we desisted. Other "problems" are: the two inch-long lines of clear tape that have been applied verso to stabilize splits in front flap joint. Inconspicuous, but must be noted. Then, a neat but uninteresting ownership to pastedown. Then..the dust jacket is also a little edgeworn across its top margin, and has some strange upright toning to front panel.
Sinopsis
W. Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He began to study medicine in London but quit to focus exclusively on writing. In 1926 he bought a house in Cap Ferrat, France, which was to become a meeting place for a number of writers, artists and politicians. He died in 1965.
