A fine presentation copy inscribed by the author on the recto of the front free endpaper: “To Gleeson White with the affectionate regard of Richard Le Gallienne. 22.3.‘89.“ With White’s rather bizarre bookplate by Alan Wright: the text reads “I sought peace everywhere and found it not save in nooks with books“ and the image depicts Death and Time burning books. With the later small label of one Thomas D. Murphy - probably the American travel writer of that name.
Crease forming down center of spine, with chipping at the foot and separation in paper beginning at the joints, the usual endemic foxing.
