Evelyn Waugh – When The Going Was Good – First Edition 1946
£350.00
A first edition, first printing published by Duckworth in 1946. A very good book with a little browning to the spine. In a very good lightly browned wrapper with some light edge wear to the spine tips and corners. A little creasing. Small chip to the head and one to the foot of the spine.
