About This Item
New York: Horace Liveright, 1929. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good+/Good+. 12mo. Pp. 334. Black cloth, titles stamped in red on the cover and spine, head edge dyed dark red, decorated endpapers, title page in red and black, fore edge untrimmed: a hint of age toning to the edges, last several leaves untrimmed, bookseller tag of The Satyr Book Shop (Hollywood) on back endpaper. In the color illustrated dust jacket with price $2.50 intact on the front flap: edges worn, with short closed tears to the upper edge of rear panel. An American is "victim of that last flash of passion which brings false youth to a woman" as she negotiates opportunities and pitfalls in London society. The uncredited dust jacket illustration is reminiscent of Rea Irvin, presenting British swells in art deco splendor. Dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
