London: Chatto and Windus, 1957. Hardcover. 299p., nice copy of this less-common title; see our "series" description below. Condition is excellent, there's a tiny dent to tail rim, while its dust jacket is edgeworn with numerous small tears and a verso tape strengthener to a complicated small tear at the heel. Number 20 in the Collected Works series; small volumes (7.5x4.5 inches) hardbound in moss-green cloth boards spine-titled with transverse gilt line decoration, very pretty.
