signed first edition Hardcover
1941 · London
by MACKENZIE, Compton
London: Chatto & Windus, 1941. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Octavo. Boards a little cocked and rubbed, very good in an attractive very good price-clipped dustwrapper with a modest hole on the spine near the front spine fold. Inscribed by the author: "To William Maxton, with my good wish, from Compton Mackenzie, Barra. March 10, 42." Mackenzie lived on the island of Barra, where he wrote this book. A notable title, one of the author's most popular titles, and basis for a beloved television series. A nice copy of a cheaply produced wartime title, seldom found signed. (Inventory #: 400841)
