Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. First trade edition, preceded by a limited edition of 100 signed copies. Tall 8vo. 77pp. Decorated paper-covered boards. A little wear to the backstrip ends and a two-inch slit to the head of the upper gutter. Some quite noticeable uneven browning to the pastedowns from the binders glue, as is common to this productions, yet still a lovely bright and crisp copy with a portion of the original unprinted tissue protector. A work commissioned and published by Waugh's wine merchants (I understand that he was paid in kind). Davis, Doyle &c. XXI.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (first printing). A presentation copy, inscribed by one of the contributors: "For Auntie with love from James [Laver]. Xmas 1932". 8vo. 124pp. Green cloth lettered in gold at the spine. The cloth darkened at the backstrip and margins of the upper and lower boards, and with just a touch of light wear to several extremities. Some very light toning to the free endpapers, and the half-title and one unprinted concluding leaf somewhat more toned. A very good copy in a splendidly preserved example of the uncommon pictorial dust wrapper designed by Rex Whistler, non-price-clipped and just lightly spotted at the rear panel with a touch of toning to the spine panel. Contributors include John Betjeman, Lord Berners, Harold Nicolson, Dorothy Wellesley, Lord Alfred Douglas, Edmund Blunden, James Laver, Sylvia Pankhurst, H.J.Massingham, Rose Macaulay, Robert Byron, Nina Hamnett, J.B.Morton, Evelyn Waugh, V.Sackville-West, E.M.Delafield, Raymond Mortimer, J.C.Squire and twelve others. James Laver contributes a five-page reminiscence of the two-year period he and his sister lived with their maternal grandmother following the death of their mother, although whether his familial presentation inscription enhances the value is perhaps open to debate.

First edition, first printing. Signed limited edition. Publisher's binding of full claret sheep with titles in the gilt to the spine. With two colour illustrations by Rex Whistler. An excellent near fine copy with just light rubbing at the extremities of the ever so slightly faded spine. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. A very attractive example, the binding of which is prone to heavy wear and loss. An essay commissioned by Evelyn Waugh's London vintners Saccone & Speed. Issued in a limited edition of only 100 numbered copies, this copy numbered 83 and signed in blue ink by Evelyn Waugh on the limitation page. A trade edition was published later the same year.
