Price: US$274.06 + shipping

Condition: Fine

Description: London, Spurr & Swift, 1924. In-12, reliure pleine percaline verte de l’éditeur, pièce de titre de papier imprimé, dos éclairci, 188 pages. Édition originale tirée à 265 exemplaires numérotés et signés par l'auteur. Excellent ouvrage dans lequel Arthur Machen, sans y ajouter d'autres commentaires, reproduit les éreintements littéraires que ses divers ouvrages, dont The Great God Pan, Dog and Duck, and so on, ont suscité dans la presse. Il pourrait bien avoir inspiré directement Ordures et décombres de Guy Debord. Bel exemplaire.
