Description: SIGNED LIMITED EDITION. Number 129 of 500. This book is in Fine. The Hardbound is NOT in the original tissue jacket but is in an archival cover. The only two flaws include a small dark dot stain to the back spine, and soil staining on the top text block from shelving. Otherwise, it is a beautify limited edition signed by Graham Greene! "If you have never before read Graham Greene, then you need to read him now. With the same sense of humor as P. G. Wodehouse and the same innate curiosity about sex, gender and social mores as Oscar Wilde, he delights in this collection of stories May We Borrow Your Husband? and other comedies of the sexual life published in 1967. These are stories about sexuality, about obsessions and desires, about the often-confused way in which we go about interacting with people we love or lust after. Most of these stories are recounted via the first-person narrative usually a middle-aged man observing others which makes you feel even more so than usual that this must have been what was on his mind at the time. Greene is not shy about discussing stereotypes as they exist or about lampooning people who live up to them or use them liberally. He does so to show the reader the inanity of what we do and that quite often our emotional feeling and behavior is not borne out of logic or the reality of a situation no matter how much we would like to believe it is."

Description: First edition. Number 17 of 500 copies specially bound and signed by Greene. Author's presentation copy, further inscribed to the title page to John and Gillian Sutro, "For John + Gillian with love from an exile from shepherd's pie + friendship, but love grows in exile. Graham". Original green cloth over patterned paper covered boards in publisher's clear glassine. A fine copy. A fine association copy, inscribed by Greene to some of his closest friends in later life. John Sutro was a film producer and Gillian, a fashion journalist, described by Nancy Mitford as "one of the ten best dressed women in England", combined film and fashion. Sutro had known Evelyn Waugh at Oxford and his literary circle included Arthur Koestler, Christopher Sykes, John Sparrow and Jean Cocteau. The Sutros were introduced to Greene in the 1950 and became close friends. They were near neighbours in Antibes and each corresponded independently with him, Gillian helping him through his tumultuous affair with Yvette Cloetta.
