Evelyn Waugh – Scoop – First Edition 1938
£135.00
First edition, first printing. Published by Chapman and Hall in 1938. This is a very good copy, alas without the dust wrapper. The snakeskin cloth boards are with some wear to note. The front board is separated at the front gutter, showing internal cloth and stitching. The spine has some general abrasion to the cloth and the gilt titling is faded. The text blocks are markedly clean, but with some light foxing. Page 61 overhangs on the bottom edge due to a manufacturing error. There is some major toning internally, most notably at the full title page. Some foxing follows on the preliminaries. this copy is free from previous ink and overall in very good condition
