Light partial browning to end papers but a gleaming unopened copy tight and fresh, in the Len Lye dust jacket - a little sunned and with some minor loss at the top of the spine panel with an associated tape stain to verso (not visible from the front) First Edition, First Issue, With the infamous Sassoon poem extant. Half title, frontis, [6], 7-448 pp, 7 illustrations. (200*135 mm). (Higginson A32. Fabes Foyle p34/35). The story of the suppression of this issue is well recorded. The book included a poem Sassoon had written to Graves in letter form. Sassoon was horrified and demanded the recall of the edition and the excision of the offending pages. This was done and a 2nd issue produced with asterisks marking where the passages had been. Ironically these, honest, fearful and touching lines are some of the best Sassoon ever wrote.
