FIRST TRADE EDITION, pp. [vii], 453, crown 8vo, original beige cloth with a design stamped in black to upper board, dark patch at foot of backstrip, very faint partial browning to free endpapers, the original fragile transmatic dustjacket (glassine with printed paper flaps), all in one piece but the glassine chipped and creased, a little splitting to upper joint-fold, backstrip panel browned with substantial loss at head, An expurgated version, with evasions and euphemisms in place of the original's various obscenities, of Manning's 'The Middle Parts of Fortune' - published the previous year by Davies under his Piazza Press imprint, in a limited edition for subscribers. The dustjacket is a scarce proposition, on account of its fragility; here, crucially, retaining both the printed flaps - promising 'no propaganda [.] but [.] the unvarnished truth'.
