Beschreibung

The expurgated second state of the first edition, issued in the same month as the first state. 8vo. 446pp. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine. With a portrait frontispiece and seven photographs, maps and reproductions. Errata slip tipped between pp.398-9, as required. Top edge dust soiled and with just a touch of bruising to the backstrip ends. A small area of discolouration to the foot of the spine where the dust wrapper is defective. Free endpapers lightly toned and spotted. A tiny bump to the tip of one corner. A very good copy in good non-price-clipped dust wrapper designed by Len Lye, quite toned at the spine panel, a little dust soiled, and with a sliver of loss from the head of the spine, just a little more from the base, and with several tiny closed edge-tears. This second state removes a passage of text from p.290 (replaced simply with three asterisks) text Siegfried Sassoon objected to so vehemently that he and Graves barely spoke for many years and also a poem by Sassoon ( the most terrible of his war poems ), which was originally reproduced on pp.341-43 and is once again replaced simply with a series of asterisks. Graves' celebrated Great War memoir. Higginson A32b. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ARC93483
