William Heinemann, publishers, London reprint edition 1970 hardcover, 6¼" x 9½", with dust jacket Front hinge weak. Ours is an ex-library copy in transparent protective covering, with usual stamps, stickers, & barcode. Book rebound for library use. GOOD book in GOOD price-clipped dust jacket "Noel Coward's life is an illustration of the maxim that success is very largely the ability to survive failure. The interest of Mr Morley's biography is that it does not try to hide the years when nothing quite came off, the errors of judgement, the overrating of capacity
Much can be forgiven of a man who has been so funny so often and for so long
an excellent book that is worth buying for the anecdotes alone.' - from Times Literary Supplement review. Over fifty black-and-white photographs and a 20-page Coward Chronology.
