Unconditional Surrender
Chapman & Hall, 1961.
Proof copy. Original grey paper wrappers lettered in black to the upper cover. A very good copy with some toning to the spine and light creases to the lower cover.
Rare proof copy of the final book in Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy.
The proof shows that a number of changes were made before the printing of the first edition. These include various grammatical and spelling errors, a rearrangement of pages 72 and 73, with the paragraph beginning 'in penal times' being moved earlier in the text, a change of name from Jack Spruce to Everard Spruce, and a reconsideration of the pace of Ludovic's writing, with the character here writing "2,000 words a day" (p206) compared to "3,000 words a day" in the trade edition.
