Descrizione

8vo., Advanced Proof Copy; original decorative orange wrappers printed in black, a very good, clean copy. A number of pages have been wholly or partly excised from this copy; a manuscript note confirms that this was done by the editor of 'The Bookseller' for much of their text to be incorporated in that journal. Lovat Dickson's autobiography, covering his pre-war years at Macmillan, provides fascinating glimpses of Grey Owl, Shaw, Wells and Moore among others. The work was published in the following year. PROOF COPIES ARE VERY SCARCE.
