Decline and Fall
Chapman & Hall, 1928.
First edition. Original red and black patterned boards lettered in gilt, in green pictorial dustwrapper designed by the author. Six full page line drawings by the author. A fine copy with a little foxing to the page edges and preliminaries in a very good dustwrapper indeed, which shows the almost inevitable fading to the spine and a tiny chip to the spine label. Short closed tear to the base of the front joint, but an otherwise bright and crisp copy, free from the splits and wear to which this dustwrapper now seems prone.
The author's brilliant first novel, described by Connolly as "anarchic and experimental, surely one of the wittiest and most original of first novels."
