Hardcover. Etat : Good. Limited Edition. Quarto, 136pp., illustrated. A good copy in the publisher's blue cloth, mostly faded to grey and offset on the rear board. Some light soiling and some sticker residue to the front board. Still an attractive copy, being number 543 of 1000 copies SIGNED by the author on the colophon page. This copy also INSCRIBED (without name, but in what looks like the same blue pen as on the colophon page) on the front free endpaper (which is foxed); "To Lady Burnett-Stuart, with the author's compliments. Xmas 1927." Though not a fine copy, still a nice example.
