PERSONS AND PLACES; MEMOIRS OF CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH
by SANTAYANA, George
(PROOF COPY - UNCORRECTED AND UNREVISED) SANTAYANA, George. PERSONS AND PLACES; MEMOIRS OF CHILDHOOD AND YOUTH. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1943. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. 360 pages. In later morocco-backed cloth clam-shell box. "Uncorrected and Unrevised Proof" printed at top of front wrappers. The book was actually published in 1944 as Persons and Places. The Background of My Li entirely reset and re-paged, with a leaf bearing a list of books by Santayana half-title, and inserted frontispiece, and an index at pages 255-262. The preliminary issue here offered has none of the extra appurtenances. The resetting was almost certainly to conserve paper during the war-time. The latter is less attractive, of course. Minor spine wear. (Inventory #: 40179)
