The rare first issue of the first edition of Good-Bye to All That by Robert Graves, complete with the Siegfried Sassoon poem he published without the author's permission, much to Sassoon's dismay. Sassoon took umbrage at much of the content of the first edition of Good-Bye to All That, and alongside fellow poet Edmund Blunden wrote extensive marginal notes in Blunden's copy contradicting Robert Graves' original text; that annotated copy now resides in the New York Public Library.

First edition, first issue with reference to spiritualism on p290 and unauthorised transcription of poem by Siegfried Sassoon on pp341-343; 8vo; photographic frontispiece portrait, 7 plates and maps including one double-page; publisher's light red cloth, a very good copy, in the original dust-jacket. A very good copy in the dust-jacket with a deal of thinning to the front panel. Nonetheless a striking copy of the withdrawn first issue.
