Cloth. Etat : Very Good. 1. Publication: London, Cecil & Amelia Woolf, 1974 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 137. Condition Report: Very Good. The book presents exceptionally well, featuring a square and remarkably tight text block with clean, bright page edges that exhibit only the faintest whisper of age-toning. The original red publisher…'s cloth, visible at the extremities, remains sharp, showing negligible shelf-wear or bumping to the head and tail of the spine. Its dust jacket is similarly well-preserved, maintaining its stark graphical appeal without significant fading, though it bears minor rubbing and a touch of surface dusting consistent with light handling. Overall, it is a highly attractive, securely bound survivor of a 1970s production. Catalogue Note: This first edition brings together a selection of previously unpublished and uncollected writings by the infamous fin-de-sià cle author. Edited by Cecil Woolf, who championed the posthumous publication of Rolfe's lost manuscripts, this release is an essential addition for collectors of Corviana. The book is distinguished by its unique aesthetic touches, prominently featuring endpapers executed by Neil J. Crawford, which were meticulously adapted from an original design by the author himself. While this standard hardback issue appears with moderate frequency on the secondary market, finding a copy in such crisp, unblemished condition is increasingly uncommon. The Armed Hands & Other Stories And Pieces offers a captivating glimpse into the brilliant, eccentric mind of Frederick Rolfe, better known as Baron Corvo. Assembling an eclectic mix of uncollected short stories, reviews, essays, and sketches, this volume spans the esoteric passions and biting intellect of the self-styled Baron. From arcane historical musings to unabashedly personal narratives, Rolfeâs signature baroque prose and fiercely independent spirit are on full display, providing readers with a deeper understanding of one of English literature's most remarkable and tempestuous outsiders. Neil J. Crawford (Endpapers) (illustrateur).
