1928L049569Pascal Covici 1928. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Good copy in original black cloth. Spine sunned and faded with slight wear to head of spine; slight stains scratches and rubbing to covers cloth; slight bumping to corners chiefly to lower corners; previous owners' pencil inscriptions on front free endpaper; slight internal browning to edges and endpapers; else a very serviceable copy of an early publication of the firm. Good 278 pages. Somewhat controversial English-language version of the novel if only for the fact of the disclaimer by the alleged translator in his correspondence; Ford insisted that the translation was actually achieved by his intimate companion Jean Rhys and that the publishers put his name on the title page for sales purposes. b/w Decorative Title Page / Headpieces.
