Description: Third impression of the true first edition, published in November 1929 - the same year as the first impression. Illustrated with eight monochrome plates, including a full-page frontispiece portrait of Robert Graves. With the Erratum slip present, tipped in to p.396 - interestingly, the slip incorrectly states p.398 as the error reference page! **Very good in red cloth-covered boards with gilt titles to the spine. The gilt is still nice and bright. The boards are rubbed and creased at the edges, mainly at the top and tail of the spine, and the cloth is slightly torn and frayed at the top and bottom of the spine. The cloth covering is marked in places, through age and handling, particularly on the back board where there is a light stain near the edge. Some creasing to the spine which is also slightly faded. The binding feels slightly strained, but there is no splitting to the endpapers or the page block. The book is produced using nice quality paper. Internally also very good, with no inscriptions or annotations'. There is none of the usual offsetting to the front and rear endpapers and no foxing to the interior pages which are clean. A few of the top corner tips are slightly creased. No dustwrapper. ***208mm x 146mm. 446 pages. ***'Captain Robert von Ranke Graves (24 Jul 1895 - 7 Dec 1985) was a British poet, historical novelist and critic. His father was Alfred Perceval Graves, a celebrated Irish poet and figure in the Gaelic revival; they were both Celticists and students of Irish mythology. Graves produced more than 140 works in his lifetime. His poems, his translations and innovative analysis of the Greek myths, his memoir of his early life--including his role in World WarOne--"Good-Bye to All That", and his speculative study of poetic inspiration "The White Goddess" have never been out of print. He is also a renowned short story writer, with stories such as 'The Tenement' still being popular today. He earned his living from writing, particularly popular historical novels such as "I, Claudius"; "King Jesus"; "The Golden Fleece"; and "Count Belisarius". He also was a prominent translator of Classical Latin and Ancient Greek texts; his versions of "The Twelve Caesars" and "The Golden Ass" remain popular for their clarity and entertaining style. Graves was awarded the 1934 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for both "I, Claudius" and "Claudius the God"'. ***'Good-Bye to All That" first appeared in 1929, when the author was 34 years old. "It was my bitter leave-taking of England," he wrote in a prologue to the revised second edition of 1957, "where I had recently broken a good many conventions". The title may also point to the passing of an old order following the cataclysm of the First World War; the supposed inadequacies of patriotism, the interest of some in atheism, feminism, socialism and pacifism, the changes to traditional married life, and not least the emergence of new styles of literary expression, are all treated in the work, bearing as they did directly on Graves's life. The unsentimental and frequently comic treatment of the banalities and intensities of the life of a British army officer in the First World War gave Graves fame, notoriety and financial security, but the book's subject is also his family history, childhood, schooling and, immediately following the war, early married life; all phases bearing witness to the "particular mode of living and thinking" that constitute a poetic sensibility. Laura Riding, Graves's lover, is credited with being a "spiritual and intellectual midwife" to the work.'

Price: US$640.43 + shipping
Description: First edition, second issue, with the infamous Sassoon poem excised and replaced with cancels and asterisks on pp. 290 and 341-3. Sassoon was horrified to learn that the book contained a poem he had written to Graves in letter form and demanded the recall of the edition and the excision of the offending pages. Centred on the author's experiences in the First World War, the book was published more than ten years after the end of the conflict, when Graves was still suffering from the trauma of fighting in the trenches. It was written in less than four months and under the influence of the young American poet Laura Riding, his lover and muse. "She also acted as intellectual and spiritual midwife both to a kind of personal rebirth, and to Graves's writing Good-bye to All that (1929), the war-period autobiography which made him famous. In its original form, this is a searing work of genius in which Graves offers up a heavily rewritten version of his past life upon the altar of his present love" (ODNB). Higginson A32b. Octavo (188 x 128 mm). Twentieth-century brown morocco by Bayntun-Rivière, spine with raised bands, gilt lettering in compartments, marbled endpapers, edges gilt. Portrait frontispiece and 7 plates (one double-page), including trench maps. With the errata slip tipped-in between pp. 398-9 as issued.

Description: First issue (see details below), octavo size, 448 pp., in publisher's dust jacket. Robert von Ranke Graves (1895-1985) was born into a literary family and showed literary genius from a young age. Although the horrors of "The Great War" and subsequent difficulties had a devastating effect on him, he would write almost his entire life, producing more than 135 books including the popular "I, Claudius" and, in addition to earning many awards, was presented by Queen Elizabeth with her gold medal for poetry. This work made Graves famous; it has been called "a searing work of genius in which [he] offers up a heavily rewritten version of his past life upon the altar of his present love." The first issue, of which this copy is one, includes the short passage on p. 290 and the letter to Graves in rhyming form by Siegfried Sassoon on pages 341 to 343; these two sections were expurgated from all future printings. Per the bibliography, it is estimated that only about 100 copies were released containing these passages; now, almost 100 years after publication, these passage seem important to understanding the whole. With a "Dedicatory Epilogue to Laura Riding", Graves' lover at the time and credited to being his literary muse for this, and several other, works during the course of their relationship. ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full salmon cloth over boards, gilt lettering on the spine, back blind-stamped with publisher's device, frontis a black and white portrait of Graves, title page with publisher's device, an additional seven black-and-white plates bound in throughout (mostly maps), vintage bookseller's ticket on rear pastedown from The Holliday Bookshop in New York; octavo size (8" by 5.75"), pagination: [1-6] 7-448. In the publisher's dust jacket showing the original price of 10s. 6d., the frontis portrait of Graves reproduced on the front panel with accompanying black lettering and designs which are also on the spine, back panel with similar black designs, the front flap with a short blurb about the book (".an accurate and unembarrassed account of his life") and a short author bio, the price printed at the bottom corner, the back flap blank. ___CONDITION: Volume better than very good (almost near fine), the boards mostly clean with a few stray spots of soil, the top corners straight and the bottom corners lightly bumped, a strong, square text block with solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; some toning to pp. 340-341 at the top gutter margin, clearly from a piece of paper having been laid in there to mark the subsequently expurgated text. The dust jacket fair, all components present but with the front panel detached from the spine, the spine heavily sunned with loss at both the head and tail, the tail showing the publisher's device but not name, also overall edgewear and light soiling (please see pictures and request more if needed). An about near fine first issue book in a fair jacket. ___CITATIONS: Higginson no.

Condition: Very Good
Description: Third impression, issued in November 1929, the same month as the first state and the subsequent second (expurgated) state. This copy signed by the author on the dedication leaf and dated the year after publication. 8vo. 446pp. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine. With a portrait frontispiece and seven photographs, maps and reproductions. Top edge lightly dust soiled and with a tiny trace of light narrow browning to the free endpapers. A single tiny nick to the cloth at the head of the backstrip. Former owner name and date (1943) neatly inked to the head of the front free endpaper, and with a tiny dealer plate to the base of the front pastedown. Very good indeed in non-price-clipped dust wrapper, lightly marked, soiled, tanned at the spine panel, and split into three parts at the natural folds with some careful subsequent restoration to rejoin them, leaving seven small areas of loss to the spine panel. Laid-in are three type-written sheets, the first of which details the full unexpurgated text that was found on p.290 of the first state edition, an inclusion which so incensed Sassoon that he and Graves barely spoke for many years. The other two sheets comprise the full text Sassoon's 'verse letter' to Graves ('the most terrible of his war poems') which originally appeared on pp.341-343 and was also excised from all subsequent states. Signed copies of Graves' celebrated (and sometimes vilified) Great War memoir are scarce indeed. See Higginson A32.

Description: [Great War Memoirs] FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.448. Including the Sassoon poem to pp.341-43, and no deletions to p.290. Sewn and bound with tapes, endpapers, and glue to spine, but no binding. Possibly a proof or advance copy, printed on thinner paper than the hard-bound first edition. Covered with a navy cloth jacket, and presented in a light blue cloth-covered clamshell box. Well-thumbed, with toning to edges and endpapers, but otherwise quite clean. Some wear to clamshell. Very good. The classic literary war memoirs. Graves opens as a latter-day Marcus Aurelius, and welds the testament of a soldier-poet which reads like a mash-up between Hemingway's 'Farewell to Arms', and John Irving's 'The World According to Garp.'.

Description: Possibly less than 100 copies issued. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE with the Sassoon Poem. 8vo Original salmon pink cloth, spine gilt. With the dust jacket. 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.

Description: First edition, first state, retaining one passage and one poem which so infuriated Siegfried Sassoon that a second state expurgating these elements was immediately issued. Tipped to the title page in a slip of paper bearing the author's inked signature. 8vo. 446pp. Red cloth lettered in gold at the spine. With a portrait frontispiece and seven photographs, maps and reproductions. Top edge dust soiled and very lightly spotted. A little damp marking to the base of the upper board, and a small area of further damp marking to the fore edge, just impacting the margin of half a dozen text leaves. Binding cracked at the title page but still perfectly sound. A little occasional marginal soiling and a narrow strip of light partial toning to the free endpapers. Some bruising to the backstrip ends. A good, bright copy in non-price-clipped dust wrapper designed by Len Lye, somewhat dust soiled and darkened, with some creasing, nicking and a little edge loss, now addressed by some professional restoration. Graves' celebrated Great War memoir, this unexpurgated edition exceedingly uncommon (Higginson, A32, notes that less than one hundred copies exist probably an underestimation - and that it might perhaps be deemed a prepublication state rather than a true first edition, yet it remains the keystone for any serious Graves or Great War collection).

The rare first issue of the first edition of Good-Bye to All That by Robert Graves, complete with the Siegfried Sassoon poem he published without the author's permission, much to Sassoon's dismay. Sassoon took umbrage at much of the content of the first edition of Good-Bye to All That, and alongside fellow poet Edmund Blunden wrote extensive marginal notes in Blunden's copy contradicting Robert Graves' original text; that annotated copy now resides in the New York Public Library.

Price: US$4803.24 + shipping
Description: First edition, first printing, second-state. Published by Jonathan Cape, London, in 1929. SIGNED. This is a very good copy. This is the expurgated second-state, without the Siegfried Sassoon poem. The supplied dust wrapper, designed by Len Lye and with the authors photograph by Alfred Cracknell, is generally clean but with mild handling marks. There is slight rubbing to the edges and a slight spot of soiling to the rear panel. It has been neatly price clipped, but retains the 10s. 6d. net price. The ex-Libris label pasted to the front end-paper is that of Michael Bernard Thorold, a member of the Scots Guard and peerage. The boards have a little light chipping to the top and tail of the spine and slight fading, but remain tight and sharp at the corners. The authors signature is present on the full title page in blue ink, and dated to 1979, fifty years after the publication date. Overall, this is a very good copy of a fine, but controversial work. It was my bitter leave-taking of England," he wrote in a prologue to the revised second edition of 1957, "where I had recently broken a good many conventions".
