Presentation copy inscribed by the author. This one of 500 copies in the preferred cloth bound state, from a total edition of 1000. With the author's signed presentation inscription to the front free endpaper, 'Austin Gill from Palinurus Paris 1945'. The recipient was remarkably, a linguist and professional football player. After a globe-spanning career in various civil service roles, Gill was appointed head of the Parisian branch of the British Council (August 1944) and was in that role at the time of this book's inscription.
First edition, first impression, casebound issue, inscribed by the author, one of 500 copies, from a total edition of 1000; 8vo; publisher's blue cloth, titles to spine gilt, with the dust jacket, tiny patch of fading at the top of the spine but an exceptional copy in the nicked and somewhat tanned dust jacket.
