About This Item
New York, NY.: Oxford University Press. Very Good. 1943. First Edition. Hardcover. This book is hard-bound in tan woven cloth, with gilt and brown stamping to the upper cover and spine, in a slip-case with a printed paper label on the upper panel, but also with some edge-wear and soiling. The covers show some faint scattered foxing. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean with illustrations. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
