EVELYN WAUGH. — Black Mischief. A novel.
Chapman & Hall, London, 1st Edition, First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 303pp. Original publisher's 'snakeskin' cloth, lettered in gold at the spine. With a frontispiece map, unaccredited but drawn by the author. Top edge lightly dust soiled and with a hint of wear to the backstrip ends, a tiny nick to the fore edge of the rear free endpaper and a pinprick or two of light occasional margin spotting. A very good copy in a good example of the uncommon dust wrapper: a little dust soiled, with several slivers of loss to the spine ends, and an additional small enclosed area of loss and some accompanying surface abrasion. A small area of miscellaneous red staining to the base of the rear panel, and the rear panel-spine panel join tender. The author's third novel. Davis, Doyle &c viii., Very Good, Good
