Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto and Windus, 1927. First Edition. First printing. "Special" issue, one of 85 copies signed by Lewis on a special leaf inserted before the title page (of which six hors commerce). Small octavo (19.5cm). Cloth-backed marbled boards; dustjacket; top edge gilt; 295pp. Conspicuous mottling to spine cloth; wear to board edges and corners, with small areas of exposed binder's board at bottom and fore edge; foxing to free endpapers - still a Very Good copy. In the rare original dustwrapper, priced 7s.6d. at base of front flap, toned and soiled with splits at spine-folds and an old clear-tape reinforcement to verso; Good. Morocco bookplate of noted American collector Barton Currie, as well as later printed paper bookplate of an L.C. Summers, inside front cover.
The jacket on our copy appears to be that for the trade issue, as it measures about a half-centimeter taller than the book itself - whether so issued, or added later by a collector, we are unsure. Pound & Grover make no mention of a dustwrapper for the Special issue, nor do we trace any jacketed examples in the auction record; but it is entirely possible, since the regular and special copies were of nearly identical dimensions, that some special copies were so issued. In all, a quite presentable copy of one of the most uncommon Lewis limited editions. POUND & GROVER A8b.
