The Book Shed

much wear to tips, corners and edges of book and priced jacket, top edge dusty o/w clean and unmarked. The jacket has the Osbert Lancaster illustrations from the Penguin paperback editions of the novels on the front and rear panels. Lancaster was Powell's preferred illustrator but unfortunately this is the only American hard cover edition to use his work. The true first publication of these two early Anthony Powell novels in the United States. After the first appearance of A Question of Upbringing the Periscope Bookshop and the Holliday Bookshop, New York City, cooperated in bringing out these two early works by Powell in an edition of perhaps 4,000 volumes. The unsold stock was taken over by Little Brown in 1963 after they became Powell's American publishers. This copy carries none of the Little Brown markings. Lilley, A.10. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hard Cover. We specialize in the works of and about Anthony Powell. Every effort is made to ship all books and other items within 24 hours. Clean recycled packing material will be used when possible.
