Description: Spine slightly darkened, covers a little thumbed, corners mildly rubbed, top edge slightly spotted, free endpapers embrowned, but a very decent copy; traces of library-labels at foot of upper cover and on rear pastedown. With the pencilled ownership inscription of R.N. Green-Armytage, Bath, 1921 (sic; but just conceivably 1924), "A bracing book with the stuff of thought in it too"; later (Will Carter, rust) book-label of the bookseller and crime writer George Sims. Letters by the author of A Poor Man's House (1908) to Edward Garnett, Ford Madox Hueffer, H.G. Maurice, A.R. Orage and others; Reynolds died in the flu pandemic of 1918-19. Robert North Green-Armytage (1878-1966) was "a retired barrister who lived in Bath", remembered George Sims, "and from the early 1950s I bought books from his collection on a regular basis . . . [He] had been collecting books since his university days and as he was on friendly terms with many authors books would often have letters from them loosely inserted. Looking through the collection with the dear old chap was a rather slow process since he tended to pick out these letters and read them aloud . . ."

Price: US$150.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: Hardcover. This early book from Virginia and Leonard Woolf's Hogarth Press is uncommon. At the time it was published, the press's books were still issued by subscription. Stephen Reynolds (1881-1919) led an active and diverse life before dying at the young age of forty-eight. He was an author, scientist, and political activist for the fishing industry. He wrote only two novels despite praise and encouragement from Joseph Conrad. Bound in dark blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Spine and boards are slightly bumped but otherwise in very good condition. Interior is very good, with light spotting to a couple of the end papers and to the uncut fore-edges. Binding is tight. Eight illustrations, most of Reynolds. 346 pages + 5 pages of ads for press. LIT/102207.
