First edition, advance proof issue. 8vo. Original blue-grey wrappers lettered in black. London, William Heinemann, 1932.
These advance proof copies were bound simply in blue-grey wrappers (“proof copy” on the front cover); these copies have an extra blank leaf at the front and rear, neither of which appears in the trade edition. Near-fine (very little wear, but faded mainly on the spine). In a cloth folding case.
