Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. Café au lait wrappers, printed paper label. Edition limited to 135 numbered copies. When Graham Greene was responsible for the second half of the short-lived 1937 weekly Night and Day, he invited Herbert Read to undertake the role of crime fiction reviewer - "I happened to know," he writes in his preface, "that he was a little tired of his own reputation of a somewhat dry champion of modern artists . . . and it was soon evident that he had found an outlet for his hitherto suppressed sense of fun. How glad I was to see him exercise it on the portentous and pretentious Dorothy Sayers, while he let off the innocent Agatha Christie very lightly. My favourite quotation is one of gentle irony. '"Maynard poured some more coffee and broke the narcissistic shell of another egg." We have always found our eggs distinctly indifferent of their own appearance.'".
