This copy is inscribed to him by Shaw at the Malvern Theater, whose yearly festivals were noted for the stagings of Shaw's plays. An uncommonly detailed and lengthy inscription. 7'' x 4.75''. Original beige cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Publisher's ads at rear. 320, [4] pages. Inscribed by Shaw to the half-title: "Inscribed to / Alfred G. Arvold / in grateful acknowledgement of his / services to dramatic art in virgin fields / in the United States of America. / G. Bernard Shaw / Malvern / 29th Aug. 1930." Mild rubbing, soil to cloth.
