OSBERT SITWELL AND MARAGRET BARTON. Rex Whistler. — Brighton. With a dust wrapper design by Rex Whistler.

Faber, London, 1st Edition, Rex Whistler., First Edition (first printing). 8vo. 374pp. Red cloth lettered and decorated in gold at the spine. Top edge gilt, others untrimmed. The title page printed in black and blue. With a frontispiece and fifteen plates of reproductions (one of which is mis-paginated on the Illustrations page). Several short fore edge tears to two adjacent preliminary leaves where they have been poorly cut. The front hinge slightly tender, and with some with light spotting to the free endpapers and to very occasional leaf margins. A nice crisp copy in the handsome three-colour Rex Whistler dust wrapper (albeit elements of the red colouring have faded). The wrapper is non-price-clipped but with a little toning to the spine panel, and to the upper margin of the rear panel, two short internally repaired tears, a touch of dust soiling, and several tiny fractions of edge-loss. A very nice copy of the authors' 'biography' of Brighton. Fifoot OA24., Good, Good
