1947 · London
by HYAMS, Edward
London: The Bodley Head, 1947. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. First edition. Very slight foxing to the endpapers, easily fine in fine dustwrapper with a short tear on the front panel. A novel of London, set between the two wars in which a young man of few scruples, and a high regard for himself, sets out to emulate the lifestyles of his "betters." Attractive jacket art by Pemberton. A much nicer than usual copy. (Inventory #: 77796)
