NAOMI MITCHISON. — Naomi Mitchison's Vienna Diary.

Victor Gollancz Ltd., London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 287pp. Red cloth lettered in black at the spine. A crease to the lower corner of the rear board, which impacts, if not severely, the lower corner of about half the leaves. Some not inconsiderable toning to the paperstock. Contemporary (1935) former owner name and date inked to the head of the front pastedown, and an inkstamped New York City address to the head of the rear pastedown. A good copy in a somewhat distressed example of the dust wrapper which originally housed the US edition (the imprint Robert Haas), split into two parts of the spine panel rear panel fold, with about half of the spine panel absent, and some chipping, toning and soiling. A day-to-day account of the author's experiences in Vienna for two months under the rise of Nazism (she undertook the risky task of smuggling both documents and left-wing refugees out of the country). Not the nicest example but scarce indeed: an important eyewitness account of fascism run amok., Good, Poor
