Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine- jacket. First Edition (so stated) of the author's fourth of five semi-autobiographical novels, uncommon in this condition. 8vo: [8], 364, [2]pp. Publisher's black cloth decorated in red and lettered in gold, top edge stained red, others untrimmed; illustrated dust jacket. An excellent example (jacket's back panel very lightly toned, hint of rubbing to spine panel), tightly bound and clean throughout. Sackville-West's novels were reviewed politely but made little stir. Simpson: A Life, about a children's nurse, was the best received: "impressive and in its way original, the more so because Simpson has such a cool, aloof quality and so little resembles the conventional Nanny of fact or fiction." (The Times, 2/10/1931) His more lasting books are a biography of Thomas De Quincey and The Record Guide, Britain's first comprehensive guide to classical music on record, first published in 1951. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
