A Novel About Journalists
IN SUPPRESSED DUSTWRAPPER AND WRAP-AROUND BAND
Scoop A Novel About Journalists
Chapman & Hall, 1938.
First edition, probable earlier state with 'as' in the last line of page 88. Original marbled cloth in scarce suppressed first issue dustwrapper with the remains of 'Daily Beast' on the front panel. With scarce wraparound band. A fine copy in a very good dustwrapper indeed which just shows a little wear to the head of the spine and upper corners, but is generally very bright and crisp.
The Daily Beast and its owner Lord Copper, were clear pastiches of The Daily Express and Lord Beaverbrook. It is believed that Beaverbrook took exception, causing the publishers to recall existing copies and reprint the dustwrapper without the Daily Beast masthead (which used the Express's font). Copies of the suppressed issue are scarce.
