LE GALLIENNE, Richard.

The Book-Bills of Narcissus: An Account Rendered.

[Second edition], one of 25 large paper copies signed by the author. 4to., original red heavy bevelled cloth. Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham: Frank Murray, 1892.

£800.00

The publisher’s own copy, with his handsome bookplate. This very large-paper state involved a reimposition to make a large 4to., unlike the conventional 8vo of the ordinary copies. Spine just faded, but a very good copy indeed.

With a very endearing 3 page manuscript transcript (slightly foxed) by Le Gallienne himself of favourable (and they are most favourable indeed) reviews of this book, from five publications, including George Bernard Shaw’s in The Star. One can feel the glowing pride of the young author as he transcribes these evidences of triumph.
