first edition Hard Cover
1950 · London
by Osbert Sitwell
London: Mamillan, 1950. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good binding/Very Good dust jacket. Sir Osbert Sitwell's extensive -- and at times delightful -- autobiography, complete set in five volumes, in the First Edition printings (though we suppose that Noble Essences is in actuality a separate and distinct collection of essays). There are no marks in the books. The dustjackets have all been price-clipped and have varying degrees of wear, especially to the spine extremities. They present weill in new mylar covers, thought the spine of Left Hand, Right Hand has a bit of fade and a couple of closed tears. The Scarlet Tree has the ex-libris of Kenneth Allsop on the verso of the endpaper; the others do not. Very Good binding / Very Good dust jacket. (Inventory #: 280588)
