1940WRCLIT79066London: Jonathan Cape 1940. 288pp. Large octavo. Gilt polished black buckram untrimmed. Portrait. Plates. Slight tanning to edges and endsheets but a near fine copy in good somewhat darkened and soiled dust jacket. First edition the uncommon first issue. Keynes notes in his autobiography that the first printing sold poorly due to the war and a significant portion of the edition was destroyed in the blitz. Rupert Hard-Davis wrote in THE BOOK COLLECTOR that "Gibbon's Library was duly brought out in one of the worst months in publishing history - April 1940. It achieved the splendid record of selling fewer copies than any other book ever published by Cape - under a hundred I remember - and since most of the unsold stock was soon destroyed by enemy action the book must be the rarest in all Geoffrey's extensive oeuvre." In 1950 the Bibliographical Society bound up some sets of rescued sheets with a missing signature reprinted constituting the second issue. Jonathan Cape hardcover books
